The Beauty of Alaska

So the other day I had the opportunity to go take a snow machine out for the first time. We went up around the Chena Hot Springs and that was an amazing site to see. While riding we came across an old trapping camp. It was so cool to see how they just cut down the trees they needed to build their home. I don't know how old they were but they had grass roofs on them to keep the warmth in. My new friend and I rode about 25 miles all around there and one thing that amazed me was seeing the mountains it seemed they truly popped out of nowhere, one minute there was only flat land then a straight up mountain they were beautiful.

The whole time we were riding I could only think WOW God you are truly spectacular, and Thank you for the wonderful gifts you gave us to look at. The other thing I saw for the first time was Moose and oh my gosh are they hugh. I would have taken a picture of them but the camera we had couldn't zoom in enough to get a good picture. But there was two of them, I think a mom and a yearling that couldn't have been to old. They were just walking down the road minding their own business soaking up the sun. While riding I had the chance to drive, it was totally different than what I am use to, a 4wheeler, it seemed you had

to fight the machine the whole time to keep it going the way you wanted it to go. I don't know if that was because we were on a mountain or if thats how it is but mo matter what it was totally fun. While heading back we had a little spill nobody was hurt we were not going fast enough for that but the snow gave way to the back end of the machine and we rolled off I kinda enjoyed it, it was funny we got a good laugh out of it so its all good. Another neat thing that we found was a cabin that you could rent from DNR for cheap its a dry cabin so it doesn't have much but a bottle of Jack Daniels which I thought was funny it

made me think of a St Bernard with the whiskey keg around its neck to rescue the stranded people in the cold winter days lol and the day we went sure was cold it was 20 degrees when we we out there but no I didn't drink any to warm up I was having to much fun to even think about it. Thank you Jesus for helping me make a new friend I have been praying that I find and with your help I have and its wonderful. I have somebody to talk to now during the day and go and do things with. I am so grateful for all my friends that have gave me the support back home and now here. Without you I would not be where I am today and so I want to thank you as well.
