spring in the white mtns

absolute best thing about living in Fairbanks - is having the white mountains so close in the spring. the trails are great for skate skiing, there's an awesome cabin network, and once you get a few miles out you're just lost in this immense landscape. just spent 3 days out there, a few days just me and nobel (stac's dog) and then my friend Kristen met me for last night. Kristen was staying out for another 3 nights, meeting up with her hubby Ned, and going out to a cabin 30 miles in (and she's 5 months pregnant - super impressive!) here's a few pics, but it's hard to take good pictures out there, the views are just too much for my little camera. just got back today, showered and got a beer, and now heading out on another ski trip to Hutlinana hot springs with my friends nick and trish tomorrow. loving this unemployment thing (but can somebody please send money??)
and just got some more good news - the first chapter of my thesis will be published in the journal The Condor in August! Finally!!
early morning fog in the valleys.


Eleazar's cabin, stayed there the second night. great northern lights that night. you can see the trail going a long ways out - i skied this trail 20 miles out to borealis cabin the first night. Posted by Picasa
