That is a
BUNCH of junk!
... but it fits!
I am ready to roll. I could leave tomorrow morning if I didn't have things at work to wrap up.
My schedule in Alaska coincides quite well with my grandparents being up there. I may meet up with them somewhere along the Al-Can on the return leg of my journey. It puts a grin on my face because it seems a bit strange.

Congrats on making it up to the Arctic Circle buddy!
If you happen to see a cute, pale, black and/or multi-colored hair girl up there (18 years old) tell her hi from me!
She was down here at MMI and went back up a few months ago to Healy!
