And she did want to stand on one of the most iconic places on Instagram and say that she'd done it.

Destination: Anchorage, Part 2
February, Yukon. Eddie, Mimi, and I continued north on the road, weaving through the Arctic snowscape. At Kluane Lake, I pulled beside a darkened Roadhouse, its porch covered in a foot of snow.

The lamb
The little lamb was already safe in the sheepfold, there were 99 others who were settled in and eating the hay and drinking the water that was provided to them; enough to feed them during the upcoming storm with plenty to spare. But the lamb saw the long blades of grass, and they looked like a tasty treat. So, while the good shepherd was preoccupied with a trivial matter, he sneaked through the gate to get to the inviting looking grass.
