Alaska Day 4

We woke up very very early since our excursion pick up time was 7:30 and we had to have breakfast. After all, we don't want the little white bag in the helicopter to go empty if we need to... do we! As you can tell, once we put all our cold and wet weather gear we were ready to start, but (and my comrades in flight were not thrilled) we also had to wear a life vest since we would be flying over water.


We flew over the glacier for about 20 minutes and it was just spectacular, on our flight we also had a grandmother and son team, the woman was 70 and had more energy than all of us put together...she was doing dog mushing with us, whale watching later and finally fishing. As we arrive at the dog camp, we realize the size of the landing site, about 3 miles wide and about 900 feet deep(of ice).


This is the intrepid team next to the helicopter, don't we look good!!









and so we mushed





Finally back to base camp. An incredible adventure and one that although expensive, I would recommend to anyone.
