KESUGI RIDGE

Friday afternoon Champ and I loaded up the pack and drove north to the Ermine Hill Trailhead about 160 miles from Anchorage on the Parks Highway.  Lots of traffic as it seems everyone was eager to get the long holiday weekend started.  We reached the trailhead about 6:30 and by 9 pm we were setting up camp just above the Ermine Hill/Kesugi Ridge trails intersection.

Had a total of nine tents in our little city by Saturday at noon.  Only ones sharing a tent were me and Champ.

Little did we know, but the several hours we spent here Friday night waiting for the rest of the gang to arrive was the only dry weather we would have for the next two days. By Sunday, a very wet group headed down to the cars.
