Day 9: The Enchanted Forest

For those that live under a rock, or maybe don't live on The Rock (see what I did there?), Kodiak is finally, finally, enclosing their ice rink.

You know what that means? It means no more raining and snowing sideways. No more wind tunnel and -10 degree windchill while standing there for hockey practice in cold, wet, misery. It means we're entering first world civilization!

Or we will someday. As most of you know, construction is slow, tedious, and almost always delayed. 

Maybe I'll still live here when it's finally finished. 

Until that glorious day, construction is underway and the parking lot to the rink is closed. Which means parking up the hill at the elementary school and walking through the woods on a little trail to the rink. The city put up some large industrial type lights, since it's very, very dark during practice time, which gives it a charming and almost eery glow. 

Cam and I instantly nicknamed this path "The Enchanted Forest."

This evening we had practice and took an evening stroll through the Enchanted Forest. 

Some are annoyed by the setup, but I actually find it quite fun.
