Amazing week at Coldfoot and in Fairbanks!

Hey everyone, I figured I was overdue for a blog entry. Last week was great. It started out a little gloomy when it rained for 4 days straight, but we all found ways to entertain ourselves. Lindsey and I took advantage of one of the rainy days and went on an amazing run on the Chandalar trail. We ended up pretty muddy, but it was well worth it. The next day, we decided to have a movie night in the co-worker lounge. What started out as a movie night quickly turned into a jam session featuring Marshall, Brian, and Andy on guitar with the vocal stylings of Lindsey. It made the night even better. This past weekend Lindsey and I went into Fairbanks. We got a ride down in one of the tour vans with Sarah, who comes up to Coldfoot every once in a while to give tours. The drive down was awesome. We stopped at finger mountain and walked around for a while. Then we stopped at Yukon River camp for a bite to eat. We ended up walking out to the Yukon River and getting in for a while. The sunset on the drive down was beautiful; we haven't seen a real sunset in Coldfoot for almost 2 months now. In Fairbanks, we got an actual hotel room (instead of staying at the hostel), which was wonderful for getting some sleep in a dark room for once! Our hotel room had a kitchen, so we stocked up on some groceries for the weekend. We bought bikes while we were there, which is really exciting because now we will be able to explore a little more around Coldfoot by bike. Of course we went to see a movie, went out to eat, did the usual stuff that we can't do up here in Coldfoot. We ended the weekend with some pedicures just before flying back up...the perfect end to a perfect weekend.
