I will follow this blog with some of my favorite photos of the summer so keep reading all the way to the end.
This summer has been amazing. Suposedly we were supposed to get less that 30 sunny days in a year but we have already had many more than that. This place is basically paradise with more beauty and untouched land than anyone could every explore in a lifetime.
Those of you that have not come to visit yet are really missing out.... Wait. No one has come to visit yet. Its your loss, but seriously you guy really need to come see this place. But be warned that you might fall in love with it as i did, and never leave.
I have worked a lot all summer but have definately also found time to play quite a bit. While working i was in the backcountry for almost 30 days on 5 different trips and the rest of the time was spent on day trips. Either way i spent my days paddling around Prince William Sound among massive glaciers and ice bergs. And when i got bored with that there were still plenty of whales, and sea lions, and bears feeding on salmon to take up my time. I also got to spend some time in the Wrangall Mountains backpacking in the wilderness.
My play days have been spent whitewater kayaking and rafting, as well as ice and rock climbing.
My parents will be here in a few days. We are going to spend some time traveling to Denali and Mt. Mckinely as well as some other cool places around the state.
Starting October 3rd we are off to Arizona where we will be backpacking in the Grand Canyon in Havasupai and then down to Puerto Penasco, Mexico for Circus Mexicus and Roger Clyne and the Peacmakers. We are then heading to Florida until December and then we will be back in Alaska for the Winter.
Thats it in a nutshell. Here are the pictures I promised.
