Chena Hot Springs, Crazy Squirrel and Plenty of Sunshine!
Since visiting Chena Hot Springs (pronounced Cheena) several years ago, I've recently had the urge to revisit this neat little part of Alaska - merely a 90 minute drive from Fairbanks.

Sunset is around 1am and sunrise around 3am but it never really gets … [Read more...]
