Well its July 20 but summer is being pretty shy about showing up. 47 this am. Been kind of wet and cloudy the last few days. Had a little sunshine yesterday about 7 pm. Took advantage of it and visited an alpine lake or tarn just above Independence Mine. Very nice evening hike with some new friends. Champ as usual chased marmots ( I swear the damn things call him) and turned the easy hike into a sprint probably covering five times as much distance as me. Fresh salmon for dinner. Amazing what you can find in the dumpsters around Wasilla.
Trip to Denali was a success. Saw Mt McKinley 2 days from Wonder Lake. Amazing view as you can almost see the mountain in its entirety from the ground up. Also saw bears, caribou, and finally my first lynx. A handsome devil to be sure.
