Mike enjoys the musk ox fur.
On Friday evening, Mike and I were invited to a private tour of the Large Animal Research Station (LARS) by Russ and Nancy Wagner. Russ and Nancy's daughter, son-in-law and grandsons were visiting from the Lower 48. After a wonderful dinner of fresh King Salmon, the eight of us drove over to the University of Alaska at Fairbanks for this special treat.
