Jeff, Marcella, Jim, and Dee went on a long strenuous hike this morning and we picked them up at the end of the hike and delivered them to their vehicles. Probably thought correctly, that I shouldn't try it. While we waited on them to reach the end of the trail where we were waiting, I hiked a trail along the Savage River. I am not sure if it was 2 mi one way or 2 mi. round trip. It felt like a 4 mi. hike but it started raining shortly after I started down the trail and rained all the time I was hiking. I wasn't dressed very well for a hike in the rain as I had jeans on. They were getting pretty heavy by the time I finished.
Because we had toured the bus used in the movie that Christopher McCandless lived and died in in Alaska, we watched the movie
Into the Wild this evening at Jeff and Marcella's RV. Jeff streamed it off the internet. I guess when you are young and headstrong, you think you can do anything.
I must get to bed as we are getting up at 5 in the morning to go on the tour bus in Denali and doing a ranger led hike.
Trail along the Savage River that I hiked
Can tell by the raindrops on the lens that it was raining
Bridge to cross to start back on the other side
Scene along the way
Trail I hiked up to the top of a little peak
View from the peak. Below the end of the trail. Still don't know if it was 2 mi. one way or 2 mi. round trip. It took me a little over an hour so am thinking 4 mi.
