we have emerged unscathed…

and yet so very tired. The journey out from the back country today was spectacular but to really understand HOW spectacular you have to know that it has rained all week. And The Mountain has been in hiding since last Saturday! So the first three days of hiking were spent in the rain, or at least off and on. We went to bed last night fully expecting to go home without seeing The Mountain. We woke up this morning to frost, and you know what that means: it got clear overnight! We had gorgeous views and full sun until about noon when it started to get overcast and the mountain was obscured. Not even the first buses out had clear views but because we had stayed out at Wonder Lake we did! :)
Ok then goodnight to you all maybe we’ll write more from the train and upload once we get to anchorage mañana.

xo, c&d

On the move

After two days and three nights in Fairbanks, we are on the move. We have tickets for the morning train to Denali, where we will stay untill sunday, or saturday or tuesday or tomorrow…
The weather is a little on the cool side, but far from cold.
Sorry we don’t have any photos to post, we don’t have access to that technology.
We will try to post again if we find free internet access.
