74 degrees




Juneau set a record of 74 degrees yesterday. I went cross country skiing up at the ski area - beautiful. The picture of snow is at the end of the road, about 30 miles out of Juneau. They plowed the road 2 weeks ago but at the end, there is still snow.
There are people who want to make the road go to Skagway. The road would go by a mine and the miners want the road. The road would be under constant avalanche danger and falling rocks is what I was told. We now have ferries that take people to Skagway.

There are people with bumper stickers which read, More Roads? MOVE SOUTH!

Such great shots with all of that melting snow. It must have felt odd cross country skiing in temps as warm as that. Yes I do think its safe to say the spring has indeed arrived in AK!
