Sweet Hitch-hiker

Every year a group of people led by John Branson, traverse a portion of the Lake Clark National Park. John is the park historian and often follows ancient trail routes used long ago. This year Bran was able to participate (she was prevented from going last year due to injury from a clam digging expedition). So this morning at 7:30am she climbed into a float plane and away they all went. This trek is only two days, but not a leisurely stroll by any means. They took minimal gear, packs weighing under 15lbs, no tent, and the food looks more like snacks than real meals. They will hike until midnight, then grab a few hours rest and head out the next morning hoping to make the rendezvous for a ride home. Check out Bran's Blog in the next couple of days for a report on her trip.
