Mission: 7 summits in 365 days
June 14 2009
Bang. Again. Did both of our last trips start like this? At the airport, after we spent 20 minutes rearranging our gear to be exactly 50 pounds per bag, (except one, 51 pounds so we had to pay overweight) we realized we didn't have tickets. A mistake was made, which resulted in us having to re-buy our tickets. But we made it to the plane. Upon arrival in AK, we were greeted by the world record halibut. I dubbed him Harriman. A 150 mile drive to Talkeetna, a small drinking town with a climbing problem (and a mosquito problem for me). We repacked out stuff for the glacier plane tomorrow and walked around a bit. The day seemed pretty rushed, but long at the same time. Especially with the 24 hour daylight, thats new.
