Trek to Moonshadow Wraps Up

Hey everyone!

We enjoyed a nice breakfast by the lake this morning while waiting for the float planes. The weather was good and folks were able to fly back to Talkeetna. It was a great group and I’m sure they have lots of stories to share once back home.

We begin the trek tomorrow back to Sheep Back Lake with a new group. Thanks for following along!
