Sassy Cheryl Show Me #81

Welcome to another week of "Show Me" with Sassy Cheryl!  I can't believe that I won TWO weeks in a row.  I can't wait to drop by the store and pick up a couple of the new Sassy Sally images!

Well, with Independence Day in the middle of our work week so Cheryl has given us two weeks to post our goodies. 

DH and I packed up the trailer, 4-wheelers and pups on Friday night and headed about 140 miles north of Anchorage for the weekend.  It's one of our favorite spots to take the 4-wheelers.  We had hoped to spot a few caribou, but the weather had other plans.  This is the stomping ground for the Nelchina Caribou herd.  Unfortunately, it started raining after we had only gotten about 8 miles out.  DH said we may as well turn around because the herd will just lay down in the scrub brush until it passes. 

View snowcapped Mtns and glacier from the Eureka trail.


Ginger after a local bird - not sure what species
They have gotten a lot of rain in that area and the trails were VERY wet.  You can see lots of standing water on the trail in the photo above.  Of course, I only get my photo taken at the least "Fashionable" times....

The water was up to the seat on my Eiger in a few spots.  It looks like I'm riding through a river, but it's actually just flooded trails!

Even though it was rainy we enjoyed a couple of days away from work and enjoying the Alaska scenery.  Thanks for stopping by tonight!  Hope you have a great week and a Great July 4th!

What an intriguing place Alaska is - and amazingly beautiful.

WOW! Those flooded trails look like fun. I always enjoy seeing your outings. I LOVE the scenery and even though I wouldn't want to live in Alaska, I have to say I'm a little jealous. Fun, fun, fun!
Thanks for sharing in the Sassy Cheryl's SMThursday this week.

You certainly look much cooler than I feel here in Arizona! LOL! Beautiful country up there--reminds me of living in Whitefish, Montana years ago. :^)
