Drive to Delta

Today is Monday, June 24th.  Do you realize that exactly 6 months from today will be Christmas Eve?  That is exactly what I was thinking when I looked at our thermometer which read 91 degrees this afternoon. 

To escape the heat and to keep from thinking about the inevitable (Winter), Mike and I hopped in the car at precisely 5:06 p.m. and drove 90 miles SE of Fairbanks to Delta Junction, Alaska.  We had a very leisurely dinner and then did some mild exploring of the area. 

One of the nice things about this drive (to and from) are the beautiful views of the Alaska Range to the south and the almost guarantee of seeing some form of wildlife (mostly moose) and the flowers!  Below are some of the things we saw on our impromptu trip to Delta.
