dscn0027.jpg and dscn0028.jpg:  Day 1.  Burned black spruce resulting from
2001 Survey Line fire that had been burning the past 3 weeks.  Note borders of
polygons (frost boils) described by unburned vegetation, and how much
Eriophorum had already regrown.
 

Day 2 was spent touring upland areas both at Bonanza Creek and along the
Standard Creek Road.

dscn0029.jpg, dscn0030.jpg, and dscn0031.jpg:  Day 2.  Participants at the
Bonanza Creek bluff overlooking the Tanana River Floodplain and the Alaska
Range to the south.
 

dscn0032.jpg:  Day 2.  Darlene Zabowski prepares camera for group photo.

Unfortunately, that's all I have aside from a couple of grossly underexposed
soil pit photos.
