Mt Ryan Foundation
Since we got the materials into the 1st cabin site at Chulitna, we figured we might as well start hauling the foundation material into the Mt Ryan site so Dean could start work on his foundation there.

Cabin Site near Chulitna So we spent a few days down in the Hurricane area and hauled the last loads of lumber into the cabin site. It was a pretty good weekend actually. We hauled everything Dean and I had loaded on our trailers by dinner time Friday night and then spent a lazy Saturday more »

Per the rec use agreement between the military and Iron Dog, I had to go back through the Tanana Flats section of the race route and pull all the trail markers we set. So it is more as a “just because” then anything else. Not real exciting, just some trail riding and the trail is more »

On the last trip we got the railroad ties in to use as post. These are basically 7 by 8 inch beams of wood soaked in tar and as a rule are pretty good for standing up against rot and bug infestation, I guess time will tell. Anyway, I drove down on the night of more »

So I got pulled for the DNR White Mountains II Staking lottery and just couldn’t pass up staking 20 acres. So Tyler and I head out Thursday night, drove up to 53.4 mile Steese and then rode the ATV’s into Jake’s cabin. We had a pleasant night and got some sleep, not a lot of more »
