Epic Gavin Hill Hike

Jeff and I have now climbed Gavin Hill three times, the first in November, the second in January, and the third today, April 20th. Today’s scenery made it one of the most beautiful hikes ever for me. Biking over to Jeff’s house I stopped and took a few photos of the Sitka fire department at work. Unfortunately, their patient looks terminal. I took lots of photos on Gavin. The sun was so bright that I couldn’t see what I was shooting. Even so, the photos turned out pretty good. I took the final photo from the Sea Mart parking lot, “the most beautiful parking lot in the world,” says my mom.

Enjoy!

Snowshoeing The Country?

I promise not to post every training run, but this was my first time on snowshoes and the scenery was fantastic–soft light and light fog gave everything fuzzy edges and a surreal effect. Thanks, Ryan, for the snowshoes and thanks, Jeff, for breaking trail.

We hiked up Gavan Hill. Compare the scenery from this run to the scenery the last time we were up here six or eight weeks ago.
