Spring is finally here! The trees have all budded, and the plants and flowers are starting to show their presence, and it's been amazing to watch it all progress! It;s quite fun to have a bunch of nature geeks as your friends and co-workers, I've really been learning my plants and flowers! Just saw my first chocolate lilies blooming the other day!

It's been really nice working for a smaller company...the food here has been really yummy! And for part of our training, all the safari guides and drivers took a 5 day road trip, to visit all the places we'll be stopping at and working with...but that allowed us to camp in Denali for 2 nights and go for a hike where we had fantastic weather and saw all the 'big game' (bear, caribou, dall sheep, wolves, moose)...and all 10 of us went flight seeing out of Talkeetna, flew around Mt Denali and landed on the Ruth Glacier, without a cloud in the sky! It was one of the more impressionable 2 hours of my life! Unbelievable! Can't wait to do it again!

After a 9-day stretch of time off, I'm ready to start work tomorrow! But I sure have had a taste of Alaska this past week...mountain biking, hiking, backpacking, and a raft trip down the 6-Mile River yesterday!
For more pictures, I will try to keep my Picassa Web Albums up to date!!
