The Sanford River, Wrangell St. Elias National Park, Alaska.
Hey Folks,
I just returned from a week on the Sanford Plateau. This is the view north from camp on our second evening. One of the few nice evenings we had - more rain, more wind, more clouds, more wind, and then crazy insane winds that nearly drove us off the range. Nearly. I was really hoping to get some nice stuff of the big mountains visible from up here, but the weather didn’t co-operate like I hoped it might. Such seems to be the summer. We had an AWESOME trip though, and thanks to Sergei, Steven, Daniel, Kevin and Wendell 
- awesome folks, awesome fun, awesome times. And best of luck with Daniel who’s about to head off to MIT for his first year of college - I’ve never met an MIT person before - I’m still kind of in shock.
More to come over the next few days - while I’ll be gone leading a trip from Bremner Mines to Tebay Lakes in Wrangell -St. Elias National Park until the 20th - so I’ll schedule a few posts for while I’m gone. Pray for sunshine.
Cheers
Carl

I bet you are tired. But once you start out, you’ll be too into everything to notice. You do put your heart & soul in everything you do. You’re an explorer!!!
