the great denali adventure of twenty-oh-five.

It’s a time of transition and change here at the radio station now that neil has left and gone back home. I’ve started doing the coffee crew with Irene now and that brings a different dynamic to the show. I’m also still doing the edge with Lydia in the evening, although just for an hour a night during the summer…I do the other hour by myself. All this stuff combined with the fact that its always light outside and its hard to goto bed….makes me very exhausted. I’m looking forward to spending some time at Covenant Bible Camp down in Unalakleet, however it will be odd to be away for such a long time….and also to work at another camp that is not cascades. I hear its pretty remote there, I’ll have to be sure and take a journal with me so I can record my thoughts.

I was down in the Anchorage area last weekend with Jamie & Neil before Neil left for Iowa. After getting in to Anchorage last Thursday we made our way down to Soldotna and found Alaska Christian College. We then were on a mission to go King Salmon fishing in a nearby river, the Kasilof. After buying our king salmon license endorsements and special lours we headed down to the river. There were a TON of people there, although no one seemed to be catching much. We fished for a while, although it didn’t take long to realize we weren’t going to have much luck. After fishing we decided to take an impromptu trip to homer, only 80 miles away. We got back to ACC around 1:30am and before going to sleep I was able to conveniently check my email on my pocket pc.

Friday we drove up to Denali from ACC for a 7 hour drive. We stayed at the Denali River Cabins and on Saturday took a very long hike.

Sunday after getting back to Anchorage we went and say “Star Wars” with my cousins Loren and Erik…it was a good flick.

Monday Jamie, Loren and I ran errands and I made some time to see Jessica, who happened to also be visiting Anchorage over memorial day weekend. It was pretty cool to connect back up with someone from Yelm!

Since getting home Sunday night I’ve been working a lot and walking our new dog. KICY has some summer work teams here building a new building for our transmitter and a few people are staying at our house, which is fun.

I hope to blog again before leaving on Sunday for camp…..until then.
