We left San Fran on Monday evening at 7:55pm and landed in Anchorage around midnight. We picked up another hour so we are now working four hours off our eastern standard time we are used to.
A bus delivered us to the Anchorage host Church where host families picked up the guys. Two things really stood out as we waited in the parking lot:
1- It sure was bright to be 1:00am
2- Mosquitoes are big as birds here in Anchorage
We got in bed around 2:30am local time and slept great. It was a long day, but we are now entering our second leg of the journey. Hard to believe it has already been two weeks.
We open League play tonight here in Anchorage at 7pm local time, 11pm for any folks back home in SC/GA keeping up.
I am working on a slideshow, hope to have it up soon. I will try and post tonight after our game.

It great to hear that you made it to Alaska with no problem. I just called your mama and told her all was well. I am enjoying reading all about your trip, all that is happening and all the Lord is doing.
Love to all!

Glad you made it (and have internet access)!
I tracked your flight during the first half or so and could see you were just keeping ahead of the sunset line. 'pretty neat to see the shadow line on this interactive daylight globe.
Also, if anyone's curious, click these links to see the distance from your host in Gilroy, California to Anchorage, AK where you are now, and the previous distance from SC to Gilroy.
... forgot one. FYI, here's Pickens to Anchorage. Is it safe to say that this is the farthest any of you have been from home? :-)
Countdown: 15 days ...
