Camp this weekend

Hello everyone, if the forecast for the weekend is accurate, it looks like summer may start this weekend.

The plan for the weekend camp is to do some aerobic activity in which ever form will be available. Depending on the conditions, that may be in the form of skiing and hiking or mostly hiking if the weather is as warm as forecasted. We will see what the conditions are like on Saturday.

The plan is to leave early Saturday morning from Mt-Mac (6 am) to drive to the Summit Creek area to ski. After skiing, we will go down to Skagway for lunch and then go for a run along the ocean near Skagway. After the hike, we will drive to Dyea where we will be camping for the night. On Sunday, we would drive back up to the Summit for a ski (weather permitting) or a hike. The goal for the weekend is to do 2 workouts each day, ideally a ski and a hike each day but we may end up doing all of it hiking depending on what the conditions will be like this weekend.

We should be back in town for dinner on Sunday.
