About an hour east of Fairbanks we visited Chena Hot Springs.
It is also only 5 miles away from the Yukon Quest checkpoint Milepost 101.
The first mushers are expected in approx. 1-2 days.
But today we came for the ice.

The ice come from the river nearby And is taken from there every spring. The two layers are called Diamond (clear, from the river's water) and Marble(White, from the snow). |
