Not much happened in Anchorage today. I spent the day reading and writing a grant proposal to study arctic foxes that were an introduced species on the islands off the Katmai shore. Then at about 1:30 pm I decided that I would walk over to get lunch. It was lightly snowing until I walked out the door. Then the wind picked up and the snow fell heavily. By the time I got to the restaurant I was covered in white flakes. I grabbed a quick lunch and headed back to my room and this time I looked like a walking snowman. My blue jacket was white. My brown hair was covered in a pile of snow. As I walked down the hall to my room snow fell off me in clumps. I knew that I would be spending another night in Anchorage. I was right all flights were either cancelled or delayed the rest of the day.
I saw nothing but cars. I am not sure where all the people have come from. Alaska doesn't have that big of population but the road was bumper to bumper traffic. Maybe it is just the holidays that is bringing the people out. But I thought I left all that noise and mess back in the 48. I miss King Salmon. The ravens were out flying around trying to find scraps of food in the restaurant parking lot. They squawked at me looking for handouts. Other than that not much else went on. I am hoping to go home tomorrow.
