Summer Solstice

The past couple of days have been a lot of fun. Over the weekend, me and some of the girls helped dogsit for Sadie's dog Denali while she was out of town. We watched some movies in the trailer (and ate lots of delicious food). Monday night was the summer solstice, so there were some festivities planned for the co-workers to celebrate the longest day of the year (which doesn't even seem like a big deal all the way up here, because it's always light every day). We all left after work to drive up to Wiseman. We piled into one of the rafts that they use for the tours and floated down the Koyukuk River until we got back to Coldfoot. The float was about 3 hours long, but the weather was perfect and it was so much fun. The scenery along the river is gorgeous! When we arrived on the beach of the river at Coldfoot, we grilled out hamburgers and hotdogs, and hung out by the bonfire. There were even a few people there who are working the summer in Denali; they decided to drive all the way to Coldfoot to fully experience the solstice. It was a really enjoyable night, even though I had to get up for work the next morning :)
