A trip to the interior - Fairbanks 2011


The Alaska Range from the North side . . . couldn't get around the haze . . .


































new young caribou . . .














Musk Ox holding her winter coat










Some wild life at the hot springs . . .




























Looking toward the front and the work room area . . .
















Drinking an appletini from an ice glass, i.e. more wild life at the hot springs!










The mirror is about the only thing not made of ice.










Chenga Hot Springs Ice Museum from the outside . . .











Chenga Hot Springs Ice Museum, yes, there are roooms in the ice museum you can stay in!












The adult pool at Chenga Hot Springs - no kids allowed! . . . ahhhh the true wild life at the hot springs . . .











Quite a few of these guys hanging out at Creamer's Field.










Here are the birds that are expected at Creamer's Field . . . we had plenty of Canadain Geese while there.











Musk Ox at the Universtiy of Alaska Fairbanks












A couch on the side of the road about 20 miles south of Fairbanks on the Parks Hiway.












Hiway rest stop in Denali State Park . . . still a bit early to try to use this stop! . . . it is like the Denali overlook pull outs . . . both north and south still packed with snow . . .









Spring and Mt. McKinley makes an appearance . . . haven't seen it much this past year, or maybe I'm not looking as much these days.
