    Trail is in great shape, got the stove beating off the chill now and I'm having a frosty one. Life is good.
    Have fun! Work hard, play hard!

    I'm not much help at the physical stuff, but I'd make coffee and hot chocolate and Manhattans for the ride!

    Sounds great! I will be glad to sample a Manhattan, and then post pictures of me enjoying it by the fire, for NT to enjoy later in the thread.

    I still SO cannot wait to hit Alaska for my first time ever, and coming to your cabin, buddy!! I'll tell you right now though, my ass doesn't do lumber.

    I am very good at barking orders though, even if everyone just ignores me. I'll wander on down by the water with a rod in hand. Any winter fishing there?

    Mission was a success... buddy ended up changing plans and coming up Friday night, so we met him down at the launch about 10 pm and it was about 2 am before we got back to the cabin with the first load.

    Got everything hauled up and tarped off, didn't break any equipment and everyone had a good time. Got a few video clips of the freighting in action that may be interesting for you guys.






    ...and a shot of McKinley poking up yesterday on the way down to the trucks. This is the one that 0bama so graciously renamed for us to Denali.
