Alaska, checking in

[kate_schaefer]

I'm in Fairbanks, Alaska, having a good time. Glaciers, mountains, northern lights, sandhill cranes, moose, moose, moose, moose, moose, hot springs, relatives, yaks.

I'm also sitting in the lobby of the hotel, listening to the updates on hurricane Katrina and wondering just where in the Gulf of Mexico my sister and her spouse are, but not worrying about them. We always knew New Orleans was a temporary city; I hope its run isn't over for good now.

Pictures when we get back, you betcha. Yesterday: four bears (three grizzly, one black). Today: four caribou, several deer. Was the most recent moose yesterday or today? I forget. It's written down somewhere.

Last night's northern lights were the best so far.

Wow, that's a lot of bear. And wildlife in general. And I saw northern lights once in Seattle, in October. Never saw them again. I'd go on that trip just to see those lights. Cool.
