Day Five in Alaska

We had a blast yesterday. We went snowmobiling, or snow machining. That's what they call it in Alaska. The weather was perfect for riding. We had just received some fresh snow the day before (probably about 6 inches or so). The temperature warmed up to 36 degrees.

We rode through the trees and over rivers. The area where we cut loose and had open range was a lake. You wouldn't know that there was water under us. It just looked like a snowy field. It was beautiful.

I must say, everywhere I look in Alaska is georgeous! The ground is white, the trees green, and the mountains purple. It's an amazing place.

i would love to see some pictures! Also your story about the moose I heard there are mooses everywhere in Alaska. You are very lucky, i know two people that when driving around alaska have ran into mooses! Our mechanic ran into one and broke his neck. He was just driving came around a curve and their was no way in stopping it. It would be very cool to see one up close.

Yes, they said mooses can be very dangerous. They are so big, bigger than a horse. So, if that plows into your car or your person, it can do some damage.

Amber, I collected some information for you. Don't let me forget to give it to you when you come to visit.
