moosin, hikin, soakin

back in fairbanks.  three nights at chena hot springs.  good hiking (legs are sore), bad painting (just can't get those greens)

Monument Creek at Cheena Hot Springs

 and hot soaking in the rock pool (contemplative soak for adults). got some good pics of a moose grazing in 3-4 ft of water this morning on the way in to town.



 found why the japanese so enjoy watching the northern lights at the resort from october through april.  local legend would have it that children conceived under the aurora borealis are more likely to be gifted.   denali next.
