CJ & Autumn Miller

On Monday when I woke up I asked CJ if it was 7:30 in the morning or 7:30 at night. We had gained 4 hours during the flight to Anchorage from Grand Rapids & you sure can't tell the time of day here from looking out the window. It is light all the time. There is plenty of time for working outside in the hangar. Breakfast & devotions at 7:00am & work until 9pm. Lots of maintenance to be done on the 6 planes we are taking to camp. I happen to be the only licensed mechanic on site besides Dwayne, so we are keeping busy. Took a break yesterday from airplanes & went with the others to Victory Bible Camp down the road to learn to entertain & teach better in preparation for our own camp. We made balloon animals- I am always hesitant to commit to what my animal is until I see the finished product!

CJ flew off the ranch strip test flying the C-175 yesterday before the annual inspection. The house we are staying in is right off the end of the runway. To the South of the field (on downwind) there is a large gorge, which flows the Matanuska River.

Met Dan at King Ranch on Monday after we arrived. I had class with him at LeTourneau & haven’t seen him since last year. He lives & works in Anchorage & was at the ranch for a while helping tear down an engine from a wrecked plane. We were blessed to have dinner down the road a ways at the bar- the only place to get a meal for 30 miles. (There were boots & pictures framed on the wall of past Iditarod champions.) It was so neat to hear & see how the Lord has been working in his life.
