Back from Alaska!
Though brief, I had an amazing time in Alaska over the weekend! I flew into Anchorage on Friday morning and met up with Rrruff and Slush; the group of us drove up on Saturday to Fairbanks (largest northern city on earth) up in the Arctic circle.
Yes, I grumbled (a lot) about the long drives everywhere -- but with temps being as cold as they were (down to almost -40F at night in Fairbanks), we did the only thing we could sanely do to keep warm ... went to an outdoor hot spring in Chemo :)
Great food, amazingly nice people, and yes .. even in the Arctic circle, a Safeway, Starbucks, Sears and Sports Authority :)
I'd do it all again, but this time for longer.
A few pictures here
(hard to see, but there's a wolf out in the woods)
Also .. no travel until the 22nd! .. I actually get to be home! 16,455 miles flown so far in December :)
