Neil came up this weekend and we actually had some pretty great weather. It's getting cold here (upper 30's), but we had some nice rain-free days, which were perfect for hiking. On Sunday we hiked along Turnigan Arm along the coast. This was the first I'd seen snow at sea level. It was a pretty mild hike, although Neil managed to get thoroughly covered in mud after slipping and getting then getting his foot stuck in a big mud hole.
Later that night we went out to see Ratatoui at the Bear Tooth. It's a pretty cool set up where you order your food and then they have servers who hunt you down in the dark with flash lights during the movie to deliver the food. So we had burritos and shared a huge piece of mud pie during the movie.
On Monday we went on another hike near flat top, to look for moose. We saw quite a few from afar (I had to refrain from doing my moose call--because apparently they're in rut right now and will charge you!) But then on the way out of the parking lot we were slowed down by all of these cars pulled off to the side of the road. A bunch of tourists, a wildlife photographer, and a photographer from the Anchorage Daily News were all snapping shots of a bull moose that was about 10 yards from the side of the road. It was pretty cool. Here is the link to the front page of the news paper with the picture. Unfortunately we didn't make it in the shot. www.adn.com

The hike looks like it was lovely. Except kind of freaky to have a wolf so close?? Super cute picture of you and N. I love the vest. xo
You should tell the people that you took the picture of the wolf from the confines of your car. The pictures you put up are great. I can't wait to come up again next months!
