They start all the plants from seeds.
The flowers were in full bloom.

We were so VERY relaxed after our time in the hot spring pool that we took a nap. The advantage of traveling in our little home.
I went back in after my nap. So relaxing.
When driving out from Fairbanks since it was the 4th of July weekend I thought we should get a campsite before going to Chena Hot Springs. When we got there we found out there were spaces available. Bummer. We went back to our campsite at Tors Trailhead. The mosquitos would have been less at Chena. Should have called before we left Fairbnks. When half way there we lost cell reception. Oh, well. Got our use of the Hot Springs anyway.
Another day of lasting memories.
