2 May 2012:  This photo was taken just about 5 minutes from our apartment near the "Smoke Jumper" trail in the "Campbell Tract"  in Anchorage.  The city is laid out around large  undeveloped areas like this with miles and miles of walking/running/biking trails.  You can see we still have big mounds of snow, but they are melting fast.  The city is very quickly and efficiently sweeping itself clean of the winter grit, and preparing for SPRING!  This photo gives you a glimpse of the mountain GLORY that borders Anchorage on the east.
