We’ve skied at Hatcher Pass lots of times - all on day-trips. But on Thanksgiving weekend, Linda & I decided to make a weekend of it and stay at the Hatcher Pass lodge. Three days of skiing!

Labor Day weekend 2005 was forecasted to be rainy. But we thought we could squeeze in a short overnight hike before the rains came.

On August 14, Tim Kelley, Trond Jensen, Toby Schwoerer, and I went on a 10 hour peak-bagging quest in the Kenai Mountains. Tim also has his photos from this trip on the web, click here to see his shots.

July 30th & 31st was forecasted as cloudy with some rain. So it sounded like a good weekend to do a sport where you are going to get wet anyway - packrafting! I packrafted on the 20 Mile River and 6 Mile Creek. So I guess you could say I did a packraft marathon (20 + 6, except that I only floated about 18 miles total).

From June 2 to July 25, we had a constant stream of visitors. In fact, there were only three days in that entire 2 month period that we did not have family or friends visiting Alaska. It was a lot of fun. Here are some of my favorite scenery and wildlife photos I took while playing ‘tour guide.’

One of our goals for this summer was to knock the Kesugi Ridge trail off of our ‘to do’ list. When the weather for July 22-24 was forecasted as sunny, we knew exactly where to spend the weekend.

Memorial Day weekend 2005. The forecast for Anchorage, Kenai, & PWS was for cloudy w/ rain. So we loaded up the car and headed to the only place that had a sunny forecast…Tangle Lakes on the Denali Highway.

After a week of 70 degree weather in Anchorage, we knew the end of the ski season was quickly approaching. We also knew that we needed one last good fix of the white stuff before we could move on to summer…So Bill, Scott and I loaded up the car and headed north to find crust at Broad Pass.
