Night 3, Solo Mountain Cabin
Solo Mountain cabin! In this old gold-country waypoint with Michael and Forest Wagner, who reeled us in today despite busting through the Chisana last night and getting his shoes wet.
Made 'er here on a nice 25-mile pull from Chisana. Michael's favorite country so far, he says.
A flawless run for us (thanks to GPS with properly loaded maps!), though slow, with snowmachine trail assist. There's a TV in this cabin, though no electricity or receivable signals! Also a busted window and an open door that left it full of snow. We shoveled out, and will have a fire tomorrow morning to remove all the ice from our bindings.So lovely outside. Stars bright as magic, a faint aurora cranking up.
Spread the Word!

FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful pictures, beautiful country -
Look forward to the next day.
Awesome trip reports! (And a nice photo of Forest for all us Juneautopians on his cheering team.)
What I want to know is, was the TV ready for the digital signal
?
On the Chisana river next to Chisana (the village) some five (?) years ago in early March, we spent one of the coldest nights that we have ever camped in. Boy was it cold. Choly ate our leftover oatmeal the next morning (I think because he was cold, I didn't think he would eat oatmeal otherwise). Licked the raisins that were in the oatmeal clean, left them in a pile in the snow. Luckily no overflow there for us.
Ned I am catching up on your blog - the pictures are INCREDIBLE!!! I hope to get down in that country someday!!
