We spent one night in Palmer, Alaska, while on the way to Seward and took some great pictures along the way. We visited a Musk Ox Farm while in Palmer, which was all about the domestication of these animals which have been here on earth since the Ice Age and at one time were almost extinct. It was a good tour of the farm and how these gentle creatures are cared for and HAND COMBED for a fine soft fiber called qiviut which is said to be the warmest wool in the world and claimed to be 8 times warmer than regular wool. We noticed after looking in several gift shops in the area that it is also 8 times more expensive as well. A small neck scarf is priced at $189.00. It was a good tour and we learned quite a bit about these animals that we really never knew existed.
