It's September the 1st, time to get on the Hogwarts Express. Tomorrow, actually, I'll step aboard the Denali Star and head north to Fairbanks. From there, I'll start a long, arduous journey to visit some far-flung parts of the state, including Coldfoot (hi Chris!), Dutch Harbor, and Cooper Landing (hi Cat and Jams!). After semi-solo-touristing, there's just time enough for a whirlwind visit to Michigan to procure new shoes and sock and attend my brother's wedding (YAY!), before continuing on to Antarctica. For those of you in this only for the penguin photos and not the bitter vitriol, congratulations, there's just a few more weeks before the regularly scheduled program returns.
So many fun things happened this summer, I'm really happy two of the best were saved for (almost) last: I made it onto the catwalk under the big bridge over the river. The views are stunning, and you can hang your feet over the edge and feel a little badass. The other great thing I did was whipped-cream-pie one of my favorite coworkers in the face yesterday at the end of my last shift. He is known for perpetrating this act, so I was simply acting in preemptive defense. I even hand-whipped the cream.
