Tuesday afternoon-Musk Ox Farm
After our five or so hour glacier hike we went to lunch and then we went to the musk ox farm. The musk ox grows a layer of lighter colored hair called qiviut that is harvested and sent to a co-op of native Alaskan ladies who use it to knit scarves, hats, etc. We stopped at a qiviut store on our last day in Anchorage and the scarves and things they created were really pretty.

Thanks for all the animal pix. Lauren loved them too, especially the "beer" (aka bear).
