Wings to the South

Looking out over Kennicott Glacier from Kennecot, real colors, not enhanced.

Greetings,  I'm waiting for Greg to take me to the airport for my trip with Hands On Global to work in the Vathy Refugee Camp on the island of Samos, Greece.  Obviously my mind is no longer in Alaska nor thinking about editing.

I had a lovely, lovely fall in McCarthy, mostly to myself, a highlight in itself.  The other highlight was our flight and After Action Review at May Creek.  We hiked to Chititua and discussed how we could make next year better.  It's a great team.  The people I work with are half the delight of the job.  The other half is the visitors.  The third half is the Kennicott/McCarthy valley!

Oops, Greg has arrived.

My car grows warts when I drive the Alcan in October.  They face forward at a 45 degree angle and can grow to as much as an inch and a half.
