A 7-mi. RT jaunt from Potter to a little past McHugh and back. A few other people on the trail, a lost dog, a bull moose. The weather threatened to get bad but just a couple drops of rain.
Finding Byron Glacier

A fun day walking a short way up into a valley that Byron Glacier is retreating into. In years past there were huge ice caves here, they are a little smaller now. Mostly clear weather, eerily quiet setting. Not 100% relaxing because we were stumbling/scrambling around loose boulders that could have crushed our legs. But all in all, powerful and worthwhile.

Reconstruction in Eagle, AK

Sounds like a success story, mostly — all of the residents displaced by this spring’s ice jam flooding of the Yukon River have been re-housed in cabins built over the summer.
Good press for FEMA, for a change.
Now, bring on winter!
