Magical Eklutna Weekend

Sunset over Lake Eklutna

I'd write something more about this extraordinary camping trip this past weekend but I've just washed my face and then applied vitamin E oil under my eyes, getting a major portion IN my right eye, so now I can't really see awesomely to type so, in this case, I will let the photos speak for themselves (thanks to Matt Bobo's real-camera-that-doesn't-also-take-phone-calls!).

P.S. What's not seen here that we saw there: Northern Lights dancing over the mountains like green streaky barely-there phantoms at 2am; a young black bear on the mountain bike trail on Saturday on our way to a glacier; a little hawk perched on a log just outside our campsite; the awesome tarp shelter we erected to keep the rain at bay.

Cowboy Matt!

Jim & me on the trail, pulling little back of bike trailers called BOBs with all our gear (there was a double rainbow visible for a couple miles of the ride - just one stripe seen here)

Next day, riding past our campsite to the end of the trail to hike up to the glacier. Here, paused on a bridge spanning the Eklutna River.

Me and Matt looking super sexy at the end of a little hike (dig that teeny bottle of Jack Daniels in the corner!)
