Murphy Dome: Day 52


Checking the domes off our list. Yesterday we explored Murphy Dome, a 3,000 foot vista roughly 20 miles west of town. During the drive up a small sedan we were following, in an effort to avoid an oncoming truck, drove too far over onto the shoulder and became stuck in the snow bank. Turns out the oncoming truck was a state trooper, who pulled along side our car. Casey rolled down his window, "Did he just get stuck?". Trooper with a smirk, "Yeah he just drove right off the road". The stuck driver was a tourist from Hong Kong who explained to us that this was "his first time driving in snow". It showed. We dug out his front tires, and with some rocking, pushed the rental car back onto solid road. Alaskans: neighbors helping neighbors.
