Snow Angles

We stopped and had to have some memorable pictures so I had Dave and Marlene make snow angles on the arctic ice.

The guys stopped several times along the way and panned for gold.  Here we were in the mountains, miles from anyone, or so we thought, but when we stopped; someone would always seem to show up and make sure we were not panning where we weren’t supposed to be. 
We went on up into the mountains to another outpost and found some cute little squirrel like animals.  I had some peanut M&M’s that they seemed to enjoy.   As you can see in this picture, Dave loves to have fun.  He kept us laughing the whole trip.  Here is his “Go ahead and make my day” shot.  Just know that no animals where harmed in the picture, but we all almost busted a gut laughing.  I enjoyed feeding them and they would actually eat out of my hand.

When we started our little journey, we had not planned on a whole day outing.  All we had packed was trail mix and beef jerky and peanut M & M’s.  We each had an apple but I refused to eat mine.  I was saving it to use like a grenade just in case we saw a bear.  I thought I would throw the apple and the bear would surely choose to chase the apple over me.
