Takin' it slow in the rainshadow

For a guy living with the liquid sunshine of Southeast Alaska, the massive rainshadow behind the Wrangell and St. Elias ranges offers a significant temptation to slow things down and enjoy the sunrays. When you're in the sunshine with a stove, a few extra cannisters of propane, and a cooler full of tasty soups, teas, and cold ones, it's next to impossible to pack up the car and get a move on.


A lakeside retreat with the same clothes for the fourth straight day. I smelled pretty good. I can't guarantee Scott smelled the same. I didn't help myself to any close range sniffs..



Not able to take much more of the stresses of big mountains and blue skies, Scott opted for a pseudo nap along the center stripe.



Looking fairly Yellowstonesque...


The lake ice creeping forward with each passing night, hinting at old man winter's lingering presence..


Big views from the highway.
