1700 miles later
Well, John Johnson, the dogs, and I went on a big road trip around the state to see places we hadn't been to yet for the fourth of July. More pictures will come later but here's a couple to get going. It was cool though despite the rain everywhere. Our days looked like this:
Friday - Fairbanks to Palmer via Hatcher Pass
Saturday - Palmer to someplace near Nabesna with a stop at Lake Louise over the Glenn highway, the Richardson, the Tok Cutoff and Wrangel St. Elias national park.
Sunday - Nabensa to McCarthy (southern end of Wrangel St. Elias park) and then up to the Tangle Lakes and the Denali Highway.
Monday - Tangle Lakes to Palmer over the old Denali Highway (Paxson to Cantwell) and then down the Parks.
Tuesday - Palmer to Fairbanks via Hatcher Pass.
The trips was awesome. Good food, good scenery despite the rain, and a healthy dose of off-kilter people from local nuts to tourists.
So, here's a tweety bird near Hatcher Pass:
A ground squirrel I snuck up on (poor little guy's getting chewed on by a mosquito):
Chilling with the rock cairn family in Wrangell-St.Elias Park
