Alaska Bound

I think most people know about this by now but... I got a job working for Alaska Mountain Guides this summer leading sea kayaking trips out of Haines, AK! I'm so stoked!

I'm going to be mostly working for the International Wilderness Leadership School teaching on 12-24 day sea kayaking and moutaineering trips. Then between those longer trips I'll be working for Alaska Mountain Guides guiding sea kayaking, climbing, and hiking trips for commercial clients (tourists from cruise liners and such).

The tough part is that my first trip goes out May 13th. So I need to be leaving MN on May 5th. Ikes! Goodness knows I need the break from all the flatness of MN!

I have no idea if I'll even have internet while I'm up there, but I'm hoping that between trips and such I can post up-dates, stories, and pictures of the trips here. Check back for more!
