Going To Alaska
Tomorrow morning Ashley and I will be flying to Anchorage, Alaska to work on a month long Student Conservation Association trail crew at Kenai Fjords National Park. Afterwards, Ashley and I will be road tripping through Alaska for another seven days.
I just finished leading two high school trail crews yesterday with the SCA; one at the Mojave National Preserve in California and the other on the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia. Projects ranged from new trail layout and construction to building a bridge and rock staircase. Pictures from the crew on the Blue Ridge Parkway can be seen at sca.justinwp.com.
At Kenai Fjords, we will be rerouting a section of trail that was badly damaged and constructing retaining walls with rock. It's an adult crew with crew leaders that all just finished leading high school crews in the last week. Hopefully we can all work together and not be stuck doing things the way we as leaders have always done them.
Oh and we will be cooking and sleeping behind an electric fence while camping. So don't worry about the bears, but hope for good weather!
