The Ice Museum

We went to the Ice museum the night before I came home.
The ice museum is in the town called Chena Hot Springs.

A Wedding Chapel

A candle

The whole Museum.

A bear bed .

People can stay in this room for a night. The cost for the room is $525.00 per night. So far they have had 2 people make it the whole night. The bed is made of ice and there are two animal pelts on the bed. I am sure you can bring your own sleeping bag as well. The room is 20 degrees Fahrenheit.

An Igloo

The knights jousting again.

This is outside of the Chena Hot Springs. The frost has covered the trees and the basketball hoop.

Stuck in the ditch, the Museum, and Ester

I drove Dolores to work today and found a person who had run off the road. We attempted to tow him out but couldn't. The police came and offered to help him but he refused the help and a few hours later he was still in the ditch. Eventually he got the truck out.

Pete took me to the University Museum which was very cool. They had a lot of exhibits including a big Grizzly Bear, and a crazy outhouse. There was also an exhibit on the area that Pete is studying.

Ooooh oh a grizzly.....!!!!!!

Good thing they had an outhouse on premises , the grizzly was scary

The Alaskan Range was out again and I got "a few" Pictures.

In the evening we went to the Blue Loon for dinner which is near Ester, AK. Afterwards Dolores went home and Pete and I went and shot pool in a bar in Ester.

This is a neat car that was parked outside of the Blue Loon in Ester
