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.

Denali Spring Trail 2012

It's Gonna Be A Really Big Show
Well, back to my true form. Denali is still eating away at my skull, and another attempt will be made on the dog trails in late winter 2012. Much was learned from the attempt in 2010, and these lessons will be applied to aid the success of next winter's mission. The route remains the same, but we will begin where we planned on finishing last year. In order to alleviate the pressures of a predetermined plane pickup in Kantishna, we will fly into Kantishna and then ski the 100 miles to McKinley Village. The best news of all? I will be joined in 2012 by Jarl Gustafson; friend,trapper, fisherman, and lover of the Alaskan outdoors. Look for more posts on our planning and execution of this trip of a lifetime. The photo caption says it all!
