Denali, just picked up some bear spray, Tiva’s and new sunglasses!
Stuck doing laundry and repacking as my family sleeps. I have to be up in 4 hours to go fishing… fml.
Up at the NOLS Alaska branch, talking to kids who leave tomorrow on “The Mega” a semester program of Sea Kayaking, Mountaineering, and Backpacking I believe. They just got done with 25 days in the field, and leave tomorrow at 8am. I don’t think I could do that, apparently 3 kids already dropped from the program. I just cant sleep even though closings are tomorrow and we have to be at breakfast at 7:30, I feel that so much has happened in the world and I missed it. I only know I have an internet connection here, and leave tomorrow for 8+ days more in Alaska traveling with my family. I just really want to be home though, I am out of the field but still stuck up here. At least tomorrow I can look forward to a beer and talking to the potato, something I have been dying to do ever since I left.
Missed out on so much this past month, but gained so much more insight to the world and to myself. I can’t wait till tomorrow to see my family, and til the 28th to see my amazing girlfriend and spend the rest of summer with!
