Seward to the Kenai Fjords
We ride two up for the last 100 curvy miles to Seward AK with some "turn at the big tree, just after the waterfall" directions to get to the campsite. We roll into camp @ 2am, after being up for 24 hours for the second time in 3 days. Somehow we find camp and get about 4 hours of sleep. Wake at 6, shower & eat, and get stuff down to the water taxi by 8am.
Miraculously, we made it. 1,000 miles in 60 hours. 8 hours of sleep, gas flavored beans burritos and coffee. Our reward is relaxing on the 2 hour boat ride to our campsite and viewing the wildlife along the way, such as Dall's porpoise, who ride the pressure wave off the front of the water taxi. Pretty neat.
This is where we will be spending the next few days. Not too shabby.
Time to set up camp and take a nap before heading out in the kayaks to find some halibut.

Denali National Park
If you haven't been here, go. At the soonest time possible, I think they have some flights available tonight.
because these pictures don't do it justice. In fact, if you haven't been there, why are you looking at them? You should be on your way to the airport.
Denali is just behind those clouds underneath the blue hole. supposedly, according to Ranger Rick
