Sept 2-4: After a summer of generally miserable weather, Linda and I were treated to sunny weather and beautiful blue skies on Labor Day weekend. We went to Denali National Park to hike over Windy Pass and packraft the Sanctuary River.

August 5: Linda, Scott and I did a hike up the new Winner Creek trail in Girdwood. From the pass we went down the other side and floated out the Twenty Mile River.

June 18: Linda and I have really been hitting the packrafting hard this summer. They really are the coolest things ever. With snow still in the montains, we’ve been doing a few short, road-accessible creeks to practice our skills. Still can’t figure out how to snap photos in the rafts without soaking the camera, so all I can show you are the maps.

May 26: For Memorial Day weekend 2006, we had planned to float the Gulkana River from Paxson Lake to Sourdough in our packrafts. But a slow-to-arrive Spring meant that we had to adjust our plans.
Two times in two weeks.

On March 11, Linda, Cory, Lou, and Phil took a trip on the Curry ski train. The snow conditions weren’t great, but it was still a fun trip.

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

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).
