After a month of summer school it was great to finally be free for the rest of the Summer. SO, Gretchen and I headed to one of our favorite spots in Alaska, Mccarthy. The great part about working for Schools is we had more then a weekend to travel. Monday to Monday sounded great over the 4th of July Weekend
Long days hiking and biking helped Jack & Jasper catch-up on some rest.
This photo was taken from our campsite along the Kennecott River. The old copper mine can be seen in the bottom of the frame with Jumbo and Bonanza Mine looming below Bonanza Peak at the top.
My buddy Matt Johnson showed up for the long weekend, so we packrafted Kennecott River.
It was kind of gnarly.
Gretchen and I fit in a 8 mile hike up to Bonanza Peak above the Root Glacier in the background.
Kennecott Mine.
The last day we decided to packraft Mccarthy Creek.
After walking an hour upstream we had some splashy fun back to our campsite.
Matt was hoping to "boof" something, but not on this creek...
