Over 50 in the 49th State

M.B. her puppy Opal and I headed north on the Steese Highway towards Central and Circle, Alaska.  We stopped at Eagle Summit and had a wonderful hike in the land of the midnight sun.  This was shortly after solstice and the longest day of the year.  The sun still never set up at this elevation…

LK and I did a fabulous overnight trip over the Denali Highway on June 13 and 14th.  From Fairbanks we drove down the Richardson Highway until Paxon where the Denali heads west 134 miles to Cantwell.  Our first stop was a glorious view of the Wrangell Mountains to include Mt. Sanford the 6th highest mountain…

A running race of choices.  You could run 6, 12 or 24 hours under the midnight sun of Fairbanks, Alaska.  It never really got dark on June 1/2. I ran the 6 hour the first year.  Skipped the 2nd year and this year did the 12 hour.  You can check out the website for all…

A friend and I went to Denali (my 2nd time in May!) and were rewarded with THE mountain, a bear, dall sheep, moose, grouse, ground squirrels, caribou and vistas that never ended.  Overnight at Riley Creek campground and up early to head back to Savage River.  We hiked the Savage River trail, far up river.…

A friend and I did a day trip to Denali on May 11th.  You could drive to Teklanika and park there.  We did a little walk as G. had hip surgery not too long before but we were able to do a couple of miles in windy but beautiful conditions.

My first time at Tolovana Hot Springs!  Great late April trip with good friends.

What a great trip with GD and her 2 dogs.  Gorgeous day.  2017

I think that I am often “lazy” or unproductive.  Then I look back at the past year and see all the adventures I have had and am satisfied that I’m not frittering my life away. Posts from the year coming soon.
