WASILLA, ALASKA: WHERE THAT LONESOME WHISTLE BLOWS   It rained yesterday evening. For all his wondrous technology, Sancho was not built to fly in the rain. Rain can ruin his electronic brain. So, as I use bad weather as an excuse to leave Sancho in his bag and shoot with a Canon to ensure I get both aerial and ground level shots, this is exactly what I did.   The Alaska Railroad southbound Denali Star, headed for Anchorage. A few of those automobiles are likely headed for Anchorage, too. Unless they stop somewhere to shop or eat dinner, blow a tire, hit a moose or suffer some other mishap, Anchorage bound cars ought to reach Alaska’s big city well ahead of the Denali Star.   Still, if I were headed to Anchorage, was not in a hurry and had transportation waiting for me when I got there, I would prefer to ride the Denali Star. It would be more fun. I could eat dinner, have a cup of coffee, eat a bag of M&M’s and take lots of pictures through the window. 5/25/22 Photograph courtesy of Bill Hess
