Thanks for the heads-up Bob. Still have many happy memories of our Alaskan adventure in 2010 - when the weather was kind. Natasha & I gave our 'talk' on it to a small group at the Australian RnR forum in March - and a few people seemed to be taken with the idea of doing something similar. I was gobsmacked by (and give bonus marks to) the lad who came up afterwards and asked if my PC's desktop image wasn't the White Thunder Ridge (across from entrance to the McBride Glacier in Glacier Bay). It's a part of the world that stays with you...

This is turning out to be a cold spring (say hello to Global weirding) We have yet to see temperatures about the high 50's and for the most part heavy cloudy skies. We are hoping weather improves soon and we have a decent summer, yet at the moment it doesn't look so good. So pile on the layers and squirm into that dry suit.
