ERNC Echo Bend to Crow Pass Trail

By -
I'm still feeling a bit off today, but loads better than yesterday.

My temp is still a tiny bit high for me, so they are checking my blood work tomorrow and will let me know whether I need to be in patient again or not.

I'm hoping everything looks good tomorrow.

After my infusion today, Sean took me to Eagle River Nature Center.

We were supposed to go to icicle creek, but we ran short of time and turned back.


I really concentrated on drinking my water today.


Infusion went quick for me (I finished Ozark).


This super cute camp chair came in the mail today.

This one will be Millie's.

I ordered another one for me!

On to the hike.


We made quick work out to Echo Bend (3 miles).


We've been here before.


Flowers.


They look so delicate.


I like how these start off one color and as they move towards the stalk, they become another color.


I like seeing the intricate flower parts.


The view opened up, but lots of clouds.

I'm not mad about it though.

It dropped our temps down to low 60s. A lot more manageable!


This is a new one for me.


Eagle River.


I don't know why I look like I'm about to sneeze. HA


There are stairs?!?! I had no idea!








The blueberry has moved to fruit!








More bear scratching!?

While we were out on the trail, we saw a few groups coming in from Crow Pass.

There was a helicopter above that seemed to be searching in our vicinity.

I was beginning to get nervous they were looking for a naughty black bear that had several encounters with hikers on the trail.

After arriving home, we found out they were looking for two overdo (missing?) hikers.

Thankfully, they two men had been found.

I think we actually interacted with one of them.

So tomorrow the plan is Powerline Pass with Sean.

We will ride our bikes and then I plan to hike to the pass on foot.

Good night!

The Jordan's.

Snowzilla.

Autumn and I began the day shoveling the driveway. That is much more work than it sounds like. I had to get us both suited up for the ten degree weather, put her in the backpack, then head on out. It took us about an hour to finish the driveway and when we came back in, poor little Autumn's face had frost nip on it. She has now had frost nip twice. Later today, we went to visit Snowzilla. Frosty the Snowzilla man is huge!!! The local government is trying to put a stop to Snowzilla citing a building code violation. Well, I say down with the man!!!! Keep Snowzilla up. He isn't hurting anything. Anyway, here is a photo of Autumn and me with Frosty the Snowzilla man. Here is a related article in the Anchorage Daily News.

I hear clank, clank, clank in the kitchen. This cannot be good, grab the camera first though- for proof. You never know what you might find. Uh huh! AUTUMN!! What mom? I wasn't doing anything! So I've moved the knives for now, but it is only temporary. They need to go in a locked cabinet. I took Autumn's step stool upstairs to our bathroom so she could brush her teeth. I think I'm going to head back to Target and buy another one. I'm lazy and do not want to drag one up/down the stairs. Autumn really enjoys brushing her teeth.... with MY toothbrush! Say AHHHHHHH- checking to make sure she did a good job. She is so funny. Autumn and I are going to head downtown after nap time to see about the ice sculptures and check out the Christmas lights. Remember that house in South Anchorage that does the Christmas lights to music over FM radio? This year is the last year, he is moving and his new neighborhood cannot support the traffic. He may set them up somewhere e

The man in the box.

Not really, it is just Autumn but saying the little girl in the box doesn't sound as cool. Autumn got in the box and was popping out of it. Then she told me, "Mommy, go that way." I think Autumn is on the tail end of this "cold." She already seems to be feeling better. Her nose is drying up, so that is good. I gave both of the girls a bath tonight, then I even got one! Emelia did something today that shocked me..... She rolled over. Of course that happened the day after you leave. Something else that waited for you to leave..... a 4.9 earthquake. It was the first time I've actually felt one since we moved to Alaska. It was, to say the least, scary to me! It did sound like a train/car/plane hit the house. Autumn was in rare form today. She told me that: She was going to take a nap on the stairs. Just kidding!! Such a sweet girl. Tomorrow we go to the Buckner gym for the first time with Emelia. I'm feeling a little nervous about it, but I'm
