martin and i skied the river from fairbanks to nenana on saturday. i'm not sure the exact mileage, if you drive the road it's 55 miles, i think it's a bit less direct to take the river. it took us 7 hours, a long ass day even if it was a totally gorgeous day. i was loving it the first few hours - haven't felt this happy in a long time - skiing in a tank top and feeling strong. but then the legs got tired, the headwind picked up, and i started to think we had gotten off on a wrong slough and must be in Canada by now! but we made it... martin was extremely patient with my whining, our friend tawna meet us there with food (thanks!!), and i guess it didn't hurt too bad cause now i'm leaving again tomorrow on another ski trip. spending a few days in the white mountains just north of fairbanks. it's my absolute favorite time of year here, for obvious reasons....
