After recovering from the previous day’s backpacking, and the evenings debauchery with the Mike, Edra, Marianna, Jaffa, and Danica. The Hawaiins wanted to hike up flattop with their final hours in Alaska, so I joined them for a bit of exercise. We made it to the saddle but they did not have time to summit. The weather was great though and I got some great photos. That evening I drove with Jaffa, who was heading back to Fairbanks, to meet with Abe in Denali NP. Abe had been couch surfing with a friend working in the park. First he brought us on a quick hike where we saw two moose in a lake and a beaver, what a greta way to loosen up the legs. He brought us to the employee’s bar, the Golden Spike, where the beer and food were cheaper than any other place in Alaska. That night we headed to the Panorama pub, for the 4th celebrations. There was an interesting country / blue grass band, bonfire and lots of drunk park employees in attendance. Since we had not made sleeping arrangements, we managed to find a place in the woods nearby to pitch our tents for the evening. It was kind of fun bandit camping, and the tundra was the softest sleeping surface ever!
