Merry Christmas!

It's Christmas.
What? It's August isn't christmas four month away.
Normally it is. But not if you are in a national park. For you see quite a while a freak summer snowstorm trapped the workers and guests of the Old Faithful Inn on August 25. So the employees made the best of it and came up with a christmas dinner and party on that date and ever since then the National Parks ever been celebrating christmas in the park ever since then. So it's a pretty cool day, with a traditional christmas dinner and all the trimings. It's good stuff and up here in Alaska it's late fall so it just a few days all the trees have been turning color and before long snow will be here. More than likely before I get out of here. But we will see what the weather will bring. Now it's getting dark around 10 here and I am just waiting to catch the Northern Lights. More later.
