Half of my life is spent at 59 degrees North latitude on the shores of Alaska's Kachemak Bay. The other half is spent at 70 degrees North latitude on the Central Beaufort Sea Coast. Lots happens in between, too, in this land known as The Last Frontier.

Making a Move

It was time to get out of the treeline, if nothing more than just for my morale. It was a short trip out of the campground to the confluence of Jenny Creek and the Savage River. The panoramic views and open-ended horizon made camping here a big bonus after a tough couple of days. We camped right on the edge of Jenny Creek, nothing more than a rivulet, really. But she provided us with instant access to running water. We wouldn't have to melt snow for our meals; we didn't care about the fuel consumption at this point, but the time saved was considerable. It was time to take stock in our situation, poke around a little, and hopefully come to grips with our current predicament.
