It was a bright sunny day out on the tundra Saturday.  No wind at all and the snow on the ground was fairly hard and easy to walk on.  Me and Hobart went hiking for 3 hours.  We struck out in a northeasterly direction.  It is so flat that even several miles away we could still see the town in the distance.  The terrain at first seems featureless but you have to take a closer look.  What I call the micro-landscape is pretty neat.  With the low angle of the sun the play of light and dark makes interesting designs with the small snow drifts and ice

 Some of the scenes would look the same at two inches in height as they would if you were looking from 2000 feet up.  Scale becomes unimportant.  The same forces and conditions that shape these tiny dunes and ripples form the grand features of the worlds great deserts.
