Silvis Lake


A few of us hiked this trail over the weekend. It was about 2 miles one way. It was a good hike. There are two lakes. We only made it to the lower lake because the trail to the upper lake is still covered with snow. We were hoping to see a bear or two but had no luck. I haven't seen a bear yet although my landlord has taken pictures of bears on the property where I live. I always miss out on all the excitement. One of these days I will see a bear before I leave.

Hiking in the snow


Well, I attempted to do some hiking in the snow but that did not last too long. One day I took a drive up the mountain and came across some snow. I decided to take a short stroll in my keens but then my feet started to freeze. Needless to say, I turned back and had to find a dry spot along my way back. There is still snow and its now June. Its been a crazy winter/spring here. Might as well add - a crazy summer, too. Always "good times in AK!"
