Catch-up IV

Last week I went on a snowshoe trip with the school's Outdoor Adventure club.  It was about a 2 hour drive out to Eagle summit and we hiked around for about 6 hours up in the white mountains.  The views were spectacular.  Here's some pictures.

 Found some cool formations from the wind and cold

 We crossed over the Yukon Trail and saw some trail markers

A bush plane kept flying back and forth over us - periodically dropping what looked like florescent orange spikes that stuck into the ground in what seemed to be a grid.  We didn't go see what they were but probably some survey of some sort of the terrain.

We stopped at an interesting tavern on the way back down the Steese Highway for some hot chocolate then headed back to Fairbanks.

Hopefully I'll have time to update a few more times this semester before my trip back in May
