    Darin says hi, peeps!

    20200831_163701.jpg

    I just flew in from Nome, going to load up the boat and take Darin up the river tomorrow.

    By the way, he's buying his tickets for next year right now - last week of July/1st week of August.

    Rainy as heck, cold as F - but the people are world-class and i love them.
    “… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

    Yup! By the end of the first night you're part of the family for the duration! Enjoy that time there, my friend, you have some wonderful things to see and will be constant shocked at the beauty at every turn. You have a couple of fantastic guides showing ya around, but even better, great friends. Absolutely wonderful people. And if you get to meet their friends, or Rick's brother Jim, or Lee or others - also wonderful people. Something about Alaska I guess.

    Take some pics of the new addition to the cabin, would love to see the progress.

    Oh, and when you are on the boat and going through the beautiful canyon area on the way to disappointment creek, jump in and go for a swim! Water slows down a little up there and you'll enjoy.

    I recall it raining when we launched the boat and went to the cabin the 1st time, and we had the canopy up. Then was perfect the rest of the week tho!

    Rick, could you please make that sun come out for my daughter? She’ll be there Thursday, and rain wouldn’t be cool. Thanks!

    Wasilla will be home base, then going who knows where. There will be lots of hiking and an airplane tour of a glacier.
