Got to love Alaska! I was up at fairbanks a week before Christmas and drove to the city of North Pole. It was -15 degrees so I didnt shut the car off while chasing down the caches. There is a very active cacher up there, all of his caches are attainable every day of the year. One is on a rope, he just raises the cache as the snow gets deeper. I hope to go back next month and see the Ice carving festival, and drop off a T.B. who wants to tag along.
