I have finished another season of work as a backcountry ranger for Wrangell-St Elias National Park. I had a great season with a lot of really good patrols. Angela worked out in Slana this season as well and we enjoyed being out there together. We finished work on the 30th of September and took a quick trip into Anchorage, passed through Denali to see some friends and then headed down the Alcan. We are now on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State visiting some good friends. Our plan is to slowly drive south and eventually end up in Las Vegas. We will spend a couple of weeks rock climbing at Red Rocks before flying out to the east coast. We will be in the DC area around Thanksgiving and then on December 1 we will fly to Cairo. Angela's sister is living in Cairo right now so this seems like an excellent time to visit Egypt. We should be over there for a month. After Egypt we'll fly back to Vegas and spend New Years out in the desert somewhere just like last year. If you want to join us in the desert please drop me a line. That's the plan for now. I'll try to be better about updating this thing now that I'm not working like crazy for the NPS. Here's a few pics from the summer. The first picture is of Nate feeding some of Wrangell's wildlife.
