Journey part 1

So here is the recap of what I have been doing since I got done with work

Day 1: I was still in fairbanks and it was slowly starting to turn into winter so a group of us decided to go and soak in the water at Chena H0tsprings...it was a nice soak....after we got out of the water we saw a moose just hanging out right by the hotsprings (see photo) and then afterwards we went to the hotsprings bar had a couple of beers and then headed down the road to another resturant to have some dinner.... yum yum Moose hanging out at the hotsprings


Day 2: was spent at brunch with a bunch of people from work, finally packing my car and then watching movies

Day3: Well it was time to head off to Denali....my friend Ben decided to come along with me and being that he lives where his phone doesn't work we didn't plan all that much but it all worked out well. We decided to drive Ben's truck down to the park, since he had his dog ike and with all my stuff in the car we decided that it would be best to take the truck. So off we went
We leave fairbanks and all of a sudden we are in a winter wonderland..yes there was some snow in fairbanks but not nearly as much as there was as we got into the mountians. We went to the park and went to get a pass only to find out that the road into the park was already closed for the witner......( during the tourist season you can only drive to mile 3 and then you have to take a shuttle bus in the rest of the way, during non peal you can drive to mile 30 which was what our plan was) so being that the road was closed we decided to head over to teh Den@li highway which is a dirt road that was the original road to the park. We drove a little and then picked out a place to go and take a hike...here are the pictures from that hike/day
