Away. Away.

Away. Away.

Cast off the dock lines! Full steam ahead! The lines are coiled, put away snug for the summer. We are leaving Valdez, heading west.

The salmon are running, Coho and Chinook.
Mountains, bears and berries.
Endless variations of trees and rocks.

Deeper into South Central Alaska we dig.
Deeper into the wilderness we creep.

When will we return?
October?
November?
Who really knows.

After the termination dust, before the big snows.

The wilderness calls and we must follow.

Look at the new images from a kayak trip we took to the Valdez Glacier.
