In a stunning turn of events it appears that the Wilson siblings not only stand on the verge of tying the Moore/Monte siblings in terms of total Alaskan visits 2-2, but are also poised to take a commanding 2-1 lead in the number of individual siblings to visit the 49th state. Observers have noted, however, that neither Wilson brother is expected to be accompanied by a spouse or significant other, thus missing a crucial chance to gain an advantage in the primary tie-breaker should both clans eventually tally the same number of visits and/or visitors. Progeny are not to be considered in the event that a tie-breaker is needed, as the risk of an inter-family arms race in the form of rampant childbearing was deemed too great.
The visit will kick off with a weekend in Homer, Alaska, including a bear-viewing and flightseeing tour to nearby Katmai National Park. Later in the week Beth, her brothers and BFE Chris will backpack into the Talkeetna Mountains and visit the wreckage of a B-29 bomber that crashed on a glacier over 50 years ago. On top of those two events are plans for a joint 30th birthday celebration for myself and Ian, the possibility of additional hiking, gold panning and all sorts of other uniquely Alaskan activities. Along the way, I expect beer to be consumed, hijinks to ensue and a good time to be had by all.
