The Sun!

The sun was out today--or should I say--I was outside when the sun was out today!! I went X- skiing with a new friend I met last ski--her name is Kris--easy for me to remember! We had breakfast at a cool little cafe--then off to ski. It was a beautiful day 25 degrees and sunny!! On my way home I headed up to Flattop (very brave of me) to see if I could see Denali (Mt. McKinley)--well there it was in all it's splendor! Mt.Foraker is right next to Denali--also a very large mountain. Across the Cook Inlet is Mt. Susitna or The Sleeping Lady and she was finally visible today too. The last Mt. has a great folklore attached to it--much like the Sleeping Bear legend!

Tomorrow it's back to Flattop to build snowcaves and drink hot toddies--ought to be a blast!

Below are some sites to see what I'm talking about--I hope they work!

Catch ya later--
