Half a dozen of my biking compatriots decided to have a retreat in Hope, Alaska, to talk about the future of our women's mountain biking club. Lynn volunteered to let her cabin be headquarters and reserved a cabin-for-rent down the street for extra sleeping room. On Saturday we biked 12 miles up the Resurrection Pass trail, a premier backcountry trail in southcentral Alaska. That evening we took a sauna and stuffed tortillas with halibut and moose burger. Full bellies, good wine, and the warmth of the sauna and good friends brought us to consensus early about the next steps for the club.
On Sunday we went in search of berries. Lynn suggested going up the Palmer Creek drainage. Those of us in a motor home had to park at the campground and hike the four-wheel drive road. We found no berries ... but beautiful views and sunny skies.
