I hope you had on your xtra-tufs (or something similiar). It looks like a nice hike and I had been thinking about looking for the irises in Juneau this weekend. Buf is so cute!

Our dog liked to roll in dead salmon (YUCK, YUCK, YUCK!) and always thought she could catch the gulls at the beach (the ones already swimming out on the water!). Awww, how cute that Buf is!

My mental image of Alaska was that of a bleak landscape, covered in snow year-round (with the bits not covered in snow sprouting nothing more interesting than moss). Your photo-hikes have shown an Alaska that very much worth visiting. In fact, I even went so far as to look up how much it would cost to fly from Amsterdam to Anchorage. Turns out it is cheaper to fly to Anchorage than to Athens (the one in Greece)! Thanks to your wonderful portrayal of your state, Alaska has gone from being non-existent on my list of places to visit, right to the top ten.

We are. Fairbanks has been quite warm for June, into the low 80's a lot of days, very little rain. Thanks, Mom Nature, for the lack of rain because that means the wildfires can start. And since there has been little State funding for firefighters, hotshot crews, smoke jumpers, etc. since Murkowski, this may be a problematic season! I’m glad you’re getting fine weather, too!
