Matanuska Valley Outing

I went out to the Bench on Thanksgiving to help Bill finish up some work on the yurt platform floor.  We put in 3 good days of work, with help from Adam and Vern, and now you can walk on the yurt without negotiating slippery, frost covered joists.  This was my last trip up to the property before I take off for Thailand and Nepal.

On Sunday, the Ahonen's and I spent the remaining daylight doing some laps at Caribou Creek.  A great holiday weekend, and with school work finished for the semester I can relax and start thinking about heading west.
