Before departing….
Laying in bed this morning I was thinking it will be last warm comfortable night for awhile makes me wonder why I think mountaineering is a fun endeavor? The stories will last a life time but the pictures will pass. Seeing Alaska again reminded me of the wonderful trip I took with my father and brother so many years ago. The pictures below are river sunset in Talkeetna Alaska and from the Coastal trail in Anchorage.
That last trip was back to the days of film photos and I found this one of Luke and I almost 20 years ago on my first trip to Alaksa.
Almost time for breakfast then packing at the hangar and waiting for a weather window to fly on to the glaciers. Hoping this weather holds and we go.
Getting gear loaded and looking positive. Getting pretty excited.
