Northern Blitz

Well I made the big rush up to Fairbanks today. No incident on the road, I made the trip in nine hours only stopping in Anchorage and Nenana.

After I got back home at about 2:30 I crawled into bed, a bed made with Egyptian cotton. I don't know if you know any thing about thread count but the higher the better. no... "better" doesn't do it justice, the more magical, anyway Egyptian cotton is the highest. After four nights of sleeping bags and cots I slept so hard that I wasn't sure I'd ever wake up, and when I did I had no idea where I was or what time it was.

Cool, while I was writing this post a huge thunder storm just rolled through. Rain was falling off the roof like a water fall. what was really cool is that the yard is full of puffer ball mushrooms and every time a rain drop pelts them they shoot up their spores like a thousand tiny volcanos. The trees are flashing brightly, reflecting the lightning, which is very close and very loud... my seat is shaking when it snaps. :) Thunder storms are also magical.

Ok time for laundry and packing.

Next post will be from Juneau, expect frequent posts with lots of pictures.
