And then it was quiet...



Whew, what a month August turned out to be. Had a really good visit with the HJS group. A weeks worth of backpacking with Doc and Champ followed up by Denali and Seward and the fair with TJ and her brood. Last but not least David Paula and the story lady were mixed in for good measure. I enjoyed seeing everyone and hope all had a good time. Eight people in my one bath cabin and everyone got along....who says you need a big house. Just got to remember to be the first one up for the bathroom, shower etc...

After seeing everyone off (kind of) at the airport Friday night, Champ and I grabbed some much needed sleep and then headed for the quaint village of Hope AK. Climbed Hope point Saturday and had a really sunny beautiful day. Larissa and Jessica and I then camped out on the river enjoying a dinner of reindeer sausage and smores.

Enjoying the labor day holiday by doing mostly nothing. Getting everything clean and dry and ready for next weekend when I will spend Saturday night sleeping atop Exit Glacier on the Harding Icefield. Sounds cold just typing it.
