HFS! Alaska!

Over 4000 miles. 84 hours. 14 hours of sleep.
The last 100 miles or so of the Alcan before Canada was a painful mix
of dirt road or rough asphalt. And by rough I don't mean a pothole here
or there. I mean 3-4 foot undulations. Once into Alaska, things
smoothed out ok, and I drove to Tok before pulling over for the
"night". No darkness, just perpetual twilight bright enough that
I had to tie a bandana around my head to get to sleep.
The past 4 days are a blur in my memory, I'm unable to sift which days
were which or connect places. What I do know is that is a very..
very...very.. long drive to Alaska. After crossing the state line I
still had a drive equal to going to North Carolina left to my
destination. As I sit now in a parking lot in Ancorage (Netstumbler
<3) I still have several hours of driving left to Seward.
Over the next 4 or 5 days, I'll be exploring the Kenai pennisula. I
anticpate a solid day hike to the Harding Ice Field and hopefully
some sea kayaking. I also may not be able to make any updates for a few
days, so be patient.
I'm here.. finally freakin' here
Remember, when the moose start telling you to stop blowing your damn horn at them, it's time for a nap!
