more blueberries

dea wants to make some bluberry jam for the winter, so we went picking again today. i have always loved them, but they taste so much sweeter when picking them yourself. we went up to the top of Murphy's Dome, where the Moose Mountain Ski Area is. it's only about 5 miles from the cabin, but we hadn't been there before. it was quite a sight- the highest spot in the hills surrounding Fairbanks. the top opens up to this huge expanse of high tundra, and berries were everywhere. the ground in the tundra is really soft, mossy, and kind of hard to walk on. blueberries grown really low to the ground, and when you find a good patch, and get down close, they are everywhere. there was a family picking in the same place when we got there- they also had a yellow lab with them, so pella had fun. a storm started to roll in shortly after we got there and the family left, leaving this huge hillside all to us...
