Hi Tracy,
I have really enjoyed reading your journals and questions. You have done a super job!

I have 2 questions for you:
1. Did you have a special ceremony when you crossed the Arctic Circle?
2. What was your most memorable experience - something that sticks out in your mind the most?

Take care,
Samantha Barlow

Samantha,

Hello! Thank you for the compliment. I am glad you have been reading the journals. Your journals were so interesting as well.

In terms of your questions, we did not have a special ceremony when we crossed the Arctic Circle. We stopped at the photo spot and snapped a picture of us standing by the sign. It was an exciting moment, though.

My most memorable experience in the North Slope of Alaska so far has been my hike into ANWR-Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. However, I am going to see the Arctic Ocean tomorrow so that may be my most memorable experience. I have enjoyed every minute of my journey, though.

Thank you for your great questions!
