The definition of having too much fun

[Richard Flanders]

I tell you this is it. I shoot clays up here, hike, collect butterflies and beetles for the university and just hang out and read in the sun. THIS is my favorite playground in the area. What a glorious 80deg day it was up there today. I've been going up here occasionally all summer, but this was the best day for weather up there yet and the first time I've bothered taking pictures. Our first frost is approximately 3 weeks away or less, so a guy has gotta gitterdone while it's nice. The third picture is looking back towards Fairbanks 67 miles away. The last two show some of the country I fly over on the way home. God bless Mr. Piper is all I can say.
