Turn off the lights

It's almost impossible to sleep here. Between the constant light, fear of bears, and my inability to find a comfortable place to put my arms while laying down, I haven't found much restful sleep. 

I wake up probably 2 to 3 times an hour and eventually find sleep about two hours before we get up. 

Eventually I assume I will be so exhausted I will just fall asleep. 

We start biking today for day three. Both of us feel pretty good. No real body pains. 

More to come later. Here is our campsite from last night. 

Day one

We are in Nenana, AK for the night. Beautiful ride today with some tough climbs. Lots of ups and downs. We found a nice campground in the middle of Nenana. 

Josh if you are reading this we pushed through to Nenana. Our friends dropped us off outside of Fairbanks so we only biked 40 to 45 miles. It was still tough. Glad we are staying here. 

Photos and more blurbs coming later. Don't expect too much. Wireless will probably be a luxury. No major wildlife sightings yet. I did get a nice camera so I will post photos for sure after the trip. 

Making a Garden Grow

I recently spent a few days with my dad and lots of dirt and wood and built some raised beds for my backyard. They look awesome! And already have some great plants growing in them. Check out the photos below.

I am going to be gone for a month in Alaska biking but my roommate and upstairs neighbor are going to be taking care of the plants and most likely already be able to starting eating what they produce. It's quite exciting. I have always wanted a garden and here it is happening.
