Half the Adventure is Getting There

Stranded south of Talkeetna!
The Alaska Range expedition started on Friday 3/19 with a bang. After battling a major storm and multiple flight delays in Denver, Matt and Mike arrived in Anchorage around 1:00 am on Saturday morning. Everything was smooth sailing – they slept in and enjoyed the Anchorage Museum - until they took off via shuttle bus to Talkeetna. Mike’s Twitter update read simply, “Sometimes the adventure is just getting to the mountain. Stranded in AK with a flat tire and no spare!” They did manage to arrive in one piece and flew out at 2:45 am.
