Today's sunrise- 10:07, sunset- 3:53, total daylight- 5 hours 46 minutes
As the sun rose each day this week, it revealed a landscape of white frosted trees. The spruce, birch, and aspen were covered in frost and the sun never came out long enough to melt it off the branches. We took in this beautiful landscape on Saturday as we skied the trails of the National Wildlife Refuge. The trails were not the best, being a ski/snowshoe trail, but the trip was well worth it when we spotted a porcupine about 20 yards away chewing on a down aspen tree. The animal was not concerned with our presence and continued to nibble away at his snack. We also spotted about four eagles at the end of our ski. On Sunday, we went skiing on the Tsalteshi Trails, which are very well managed and once again got to take in the beauty of the white trees.
On Thursday night we head back to Minnesota to spend time with our families for Christmas. We are very anxious to get back! It’s about a 5 hour flight and we will land in Minnesota around 5:30 Friday morning. Merry Christmas to everyone and safe travels, wherever you may be going!
