9 September 2007 Eklutna Valley


One of my biking friends reserved the Serenity Cabin near the head of the Eklutna Valley for a night. Eight of us in two groups biked the gravel trail 12 miles to the cabin in a driving rain. The first group were able to get a small fire going with the limited amount of dry fire wood on hand. Three daytrippers ate some food and changed clothes before heading back in slightly drier conditions. The rest of us spent the evening moving clothes around to dry, munching chocolate and smoked salmon, sipping wine, cutting fire wood, and talking and laughing. Our return trip on Sunday was almost entirely dry until the last few miles. Coffee and quiche in Eagle River warmed us for the drive home.
