We have had a very nice weekend in Fairbanks. We started by going to the University of Alaska Museum of the North. It had a wonderful display on the history of Alaska from it’s geological start to the modern era. Also, they had a great movie on the Northern Lights. If it were not for the sun setting at 11:30 at night, I am pretty sure that the northern lights would be spectacular because of the current level of solar activity.
On Sunday, we drive 65 miles to Chena Hot Springs. We had a nice 4-mile hike along with way. We did not see much in the way of wildlife, but the views were spectacular. There is nothing better than soaking in a natural hot spring after a long hike.
The other big event for the day was finishing our 32 hour book tape, Troubled Blood by Robert Galbraith (JK Rowling). It was the 5th of the Cormoran Strike series, which we both highly recommend if you like a good mystery. But read or listen to the others first, they are great.
