We have another trip coming up (can you tell my husband is about to retire?) where our luggage is going to be restricted. So this was kind of a dress rehearsal in that respect. In fact, flying to and from St Paul Island, we wore our boots. After I put Dr Scholl insoles in them, they were very comfortable. One day my phone said I walked over 13,000 steps.

I didn’t really think I was stylish. But I wanted to show how I packed and layered for challenging weather. Fifth, thank you. I took a lot of pictures, and was lucky that a few came out okay. fifthandfinest on "WIW: It was cold in Alaska!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-it-was-cold-in-alaska/page/2#post-2035147 Thu, 13 Jun 2019 17:32:26 +0000 fifthandfinest 2035147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wow!

But I was most excited about seeing the Arctic fox, since I’d never seen one before. And the musk ox.

I thought her hair was gorgeous. It must be a nuisance, though. LaP, thank you. I took some pictures through the scope. It’s hard, but a few turned out okay. The foxes were so fascinating. They reminded me of our Jack Russell. He’s a small dog, about 15 pounds. That would be twice as big as the arctic fox, but similar in size to the red fox.

Especially the puffins -- they're so much smaller than you think, it's hard to get a good shot. And that sneaky little red fox, what a perfect image.

And only two pairs of footwear - my hiking shoes and my knee high boots. We wore the boots to and from St Paul, to minimize luggage. Sterling, thank you. I do have a lot of gear. I joke that I have as many jackets as the Inuit have words for snow...

The puffins were gorgeous, and were sitting on a cliff. We saw another bird with extreme makeup - the spectacled eider - but I didn’t get a picture, unfortunately. Karen, thank you. I’d love to get together. Bonnie, thank you. I was mostly warm enough, but wind is hard to deal with. Suntiger, thank you. The puffins were stunning. They, along with many other sea birds were planning to nest on cliff. Anna, thank you. I have a pocket camera with a 10x zoom, and sometimes took pictures through our scope. It’s hard to do, though. I don’t want to carry the huge lens like several people on the trip had. My binoculars are heavy enough. Joy, yes, it can be deceiving. It was beautiful, with the profusion of wildflowers, but still bitter cold, at times. It was early spring in Nome and St Paul. Shevia, thank you. It was a wonderful trip. Catherine, thank you. Gigi, thank you. I loved the puffins, too. Rachy, thank you. Jane, thank you. Well, I was mostly warm... Mainelady, thank you. Sterling, thank you. We were lucky with the weather. It could have been miserable if it had rained. We had only a little bit of rain. Cardiff girl, even in the middle of the night it wasn’t dark. I’m lucky that my husband wants to go on these trips. I’m not as hard core a birder as him, but I really enjoyed the trip. Robin, thank you. Windchime, thank you. The woman’s hair was gorgeous. She looked like she was in her 40s at least. That’s the longest hair I’ve ever seen. Kelly, thank you. The arctic fox was definitely my favorite. They’re surprisingly small - 10 pounds or less. On St Paul they don’t turn white. Janet, thank you. We’d seen puffins before, but we had much better views of them on St Paul. Bijou, thank you. The musk ox were interesting, too. The native people use their undercoat to make yarn called qiviut. It’s super soft and warm, like cashmere. Cee, thank you. Angie, thank you. It was a wonderful trip. I was glad to get packing advice in advance of the trip. It really helped me make smart decisions.
