Today I worked for a few hours and then around noon mom picked me up and started driving. We had lunch at The Monderosa (near Nenana). When we went over the Tanana River bridge at Nenana we saw the tripod for the Nenana Ice Classic in the river ice! Yay haha. The weather was horrible..it was snowing and so cloudy you could hardly see the scenery. It felt like all the color had drained from the world and was full of white and grey..ugh. It stayed that way till Healy or Cantwell..it stopped snowing and there was even some blue sky! The mountains were brilliant white in the sun..wow. I even saw the bottom of Mt. McKinley. Then it got cloudy again but it still wasn't as bad as the beginning drive. In Wasilla you could see some of the Chugach Mountains and the pink sunset on the mountains was BEAUTIFUL. I thought I even saw a glacier coming down the mountain (I checked on Google Earth and it did show glaciers you could possibly see from the road. Hopefully I'll get a better view tomorrow). We found the hotel and I about died cause the view from the rooms was the mountains. I was squeaking haha. I reaaally hope the weather is nicer tomorrow..I've never been down the Glenn Highway and want to see it in its full glory!

Aww that really does sound gorgeous. That's so cool that you saw the bottom of Mt. McKinley! I remember seeing the glow of the sunset on the hills (mountains?) by Chena Hot Springs and how beautiful it was.

I hope the weather is great today and you get to see some sweet views! I hope you get to take some sweet pics, too.

Have fun!!
