Mt. McKinley Expedition: Mike Haugen & Team Ready in Talkeetna
Hello from Talkeetna, Alaska,
Our McKinley Expedition June 14th team met in Anchorage on Tuesday, June 14th, since then we have spent time shopping, packing food, gear, and other necessities, and meeting with the National Park Service. Our gear is organized and packed and we are all set to fly tomorrow (Thursday, June 16th). The weather has not been clear for several days so there are many teams waiting to fly to/from the Kahiltna Glacier. The weather has not begun to clear and planes are flying.
Our chances look good to fly onto the mountain tomorrow. Wish us luck!

Thanks for sharing your climb with us. Just like old times. SF was ok, alot of fog and rain. Wine country was awesome. We teasted so may wines. Matter of fact
Gayl took my credit card way from me “enough is enough”, I only bought 66 bottles plus I joined three wineries for one full year,plus another 36 bottles. I’m retired NOW! Big party when you get home. We got our camper 2 days ago. Look out camping world.
Good luck to your team. Be Safe!
