Day 68, 3/9/2011


Eielson Air Force Base as seen from the Moose Creek Range on Fort Wainwright land.

Side Trip, Gustavus, AK...



Trumpeter Swans that have been wintering in the lagoon.

Since I walk to work most days here and it's very icy on the road, I wear these "Yak Traks" grips on the bottom of my shoes for extra traction.


Today I had to 'fess up to my coworkers here that I have a head cold. There was no way to hide it since I practically lost my voice. I didn't want to say anything, because in Alaska, those that come to the remote villages and towns from the city bearing germs are social pariahs, but everyone was surprisingly tolerant.
