Alaska Seminar: Davis & Team Unable to Fly Off the Glacier

May 26, 2017

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Alaska Seminar

Elevation: 7,300'

May 26, 2017 So this dispatch is not coming from the green grass of town but the expansive white glacier of the Kahiltna. We thought the weather might break long enough for a flight in but alas the clouds remain limiting visibility. The team kept busy in the morning though. After breakfast we stomped down a foot of new snow on the runway so planes could land and then we waited for that faint din of turbine engines. Now it is evening and we are turning in as new snow falls. Tomorrow is another day so we will wait and see what it brings. RMI Guide Leon Davis
