"Life's short stay awake"



And that my friends and family is what we are trying to do! 12 hours on the train from Anchorage to Fairbanks, and our shuttle was an hour late sooo... with my cold and all this will be short!! The highlights 6 moose sightings, 8 caribou, 4 dall sheep, 2 people snow shoeing in the middle of what appears nowhere and ... drum roll 1 BIG DENALI! Actually we were truly blown away with many views of the Alaska range, Chucagh, and Talkeetna! As most people will tell you up here, seeing the big one, Denali is never to be taken for granted as it basically has it's own weather system up there at 20+. It was an awesome day really, and so much more to tell... but alas my nose runs and Will is off to find food or snack... he is tiring of the stash of Clif bars and well considering the price of train food... oh yes Will ate reindeer today!! So sorry to tell you all that Dasher will not be flying next year :) Okay my cold medicine must be kicking in! Thanks to all of you for your prayers... they are working, we are really seeing and experiencing great things... keep the comments coming

and if you were wondering what Easter is about... it's about the one who created scenery like this! Happy Easter!
