Ice Park

There is a big display in town showing the entries to the world ice art champs. The first section are scluptures made from multiple blocks by teams.




This peacock doesnt like that big but it was about 4-5m tall.


And these dancers were almot life sized. 
The next section was made from a single block by pairs and individuals.





There was also a section of stuff to play on, including a giant slide and a maze.

Weekend Adventures

This weekend a group of us went down to Denali National Park where one of the boy's family owns a bunch of cabins. They rent them out to tourists for seven months of the year during the summer period. But its shut down at the moment so we are allowed to stay in them for the weekend.




We did all your typical Alaskan musts, shot a few guns, slid down a frozen river and had a bonfire in the snow. The first ones are of the frozen river, and then a video.






I can't see why summer is the tourists season. I think it was the most beautiful time of year. There is still plenty of snow on the ground but it was sunny and relatively warm.
