It seemed to me that it rained all summer here in Fairbanks. We really wanted to go geocaching and finally said Rain or Shine we're going. So we went on this hike in the rain . We borrowed a co-workers dog - Chester. We actually tired this dog out! He pulled me up a pretty steep hill - about 3/4ths of a mile! There is another geocache (Quartz Creek) further along - but we were just getting too wet.

| This burn is two years old - and fireweed likes to grow in burned spots. |

| Chester! |

| Once up the hill, we were literally in the clouds. |

| A break in the cloud. |

| Wet trail, wet Heather and wet Chester! |

 |
| So that means it is open on weekends, right? HA! We almost got soooo stuck many, many times. |
|
|
 |
| Thank goodness Brad was driving - If Heather had been driving we probably would have gotten stuck. |
