It was a stormy spring on the Steese. Here is the closed gate on the Circle side before the climb to Eagle Summit. I sat here for a Friday night and most of a Saturday as I waited for the road to open.

I was driving the Land Cruiser on this day, and the side view mirror is shoulder high, so the snow bank was well over five feet.

There were many caribou on the road this spring.

For Jamiee's 16th birthday, she had a limo and a group of friends. They just drove around all evening.

First driving lesson in Circle, Jaimee dumped it in a snow filled ditch.

I was driving home and came upon a snow plow going the same direction. I followed behind it for a while and watched as it threw snow into the air, completely swallowing the plow in snow.

There is a picture somewhere of my gramma Betty hugging my brother Jason in this same way.

This is at the children's ice park at the Ice Art Championship.

It looks deceptively tame in this picture, but Stephanie and the boys are in an ice bowl that was almost impossible to climb out of. It was more than amusing.
