The Grizzly Burger

Jake and I have been working for about a week now and we are really having a great time! It is still early spring here so its quite cold and the weather is very unpredictable, snowing one minute and sunny the next. We've met some great people and we've been having a good time learning about the resort. The picture posted is jake on the road in front of the resort. We live down the hill by a river that is nestled at the base of the mountains behind jake. The mountain pictured is called Mt. Healy.

On our second day here our friend's Jessica and Carlos came down from Fairbanks to visit us. They stayed the night in our room and we had a great time catching up! The next day we went to dinner at a local diner called Rose's. They consider themselves "world famous" for their Grizzly Burger. The Grizzly Burger is a huge burger with a 1 pound beef patty, fried egg, and ham slices in addition to the normal veggies and condiments you find on a burger. If you eat the whole burger and the large side of fries that it comes with you get your picture up on the wall of the diner. Jake and Carlos BOTH finished the Grizzly Burger!! Rose said that the next time we came their photo would be up on the wall. They said that the burger tasted awesome but they both looked a little sick by the time they finished their fries!
Unbelievably there are photos up on her wall of people that have eaten a 5 layer Grizzly Burger.... That's 5, 1 pound patties!!! Yuck!!
