Your hike sounds fantastic! Thanks for sharing the beautiful photos. The reindeer guards reminded me of cattle guards on the farm. I am wondering if you have "skeets" in the wetlands. Fairbanks has been hit with three days of 80+ degrees. The leaves are out, but the ground cover is still brown. It has been an interesting, but late green-up season. Our pollen counts are very high and many of us are having allergy issues. Do the Finns have issues with the birch pollen? Thanks for the great updates!
