Today is a leisure day. We're doing laundry, shipping some things back to lighten our load as we've found we didn't need some things we brought like spare tires, tents, sleeping bags as well as some gift items the ladies have purchased. This afternoon we went to the Chena Hot Springs as the weather held out and we luckily kept missing the rain but found wet roads. In addition to the Hot springs this is a complete resort & RV park that has dog sledding in the winter, a huge Ice Museum that's really cool (no pun intended) and is a great spot to watch the Northern Lights. They claim they are much busier in the winter then now! The pics today are of the inside of the Ice Museum where everything is carved from ice and they use LED lights cause they are a cool light. There's a pair of knights jousting on their horses, a fireplace, a shot of the main hall with the chandeliers and last but not least Joe with his hot date, Venus de Milo! It's 20 degrees inside all the time. The resort is also a test site for a self-sufficient community for energy, food, heating & fuel using renewable sources such as Geothermal. They are in partnership with United Technologies. Here's a link to the website that tells all about it. http://www.yourownpower.com/ Tomorrow we head for Denali National Park.
I also need to give credit to Joe Lodi who is responsible for many of the pics that have been posted. Thanks Joe.

Thanks for keeping the blog - you've got the makings of a book - a "how to" on biking to Alaska!
