A wheeler, rifle, chainsaw kind of morning starting pre-dawn cruising in the morning chill, down to neighbor's to pick up Tim R and his dog Halo. We cut a cord and then some for Emily of White Spruce. Came back to the Yurt with some Spruce Hens to find Avery packed lunches for our hike. We motored up to Sam's driveway then began hiking.

| Owen finally got his smoked rainbow smelt that he caught in Bristol Bay back in July. It was smoked, frozen and had many adventures until it finally arrived in Kennicott to be fried then carried up the mountain and eaten for hiking energy. |

| The old buildings have held up pretty well. Amazing how that got so much so high on the mountain. |

| Owen on the ridge above upper McCarthy Creek, with Nikolai Ridge behind him. Snowing and blowing and he was comfortable and warm. Makes me wonder how he'll do in the warmer weather of our travels. |

| Elizabeth didn't go with because of her broken toe, (which is healing quickly). However, a fine dinner and hot hot tub awaited our return. |

Yeah! You've now bagged all the mines. Sorry we weren't there with you - looks awesome. Machu Pichu will be a piece of cake!
