Sorry, it's been awhile. I've been out in the field for a couple weeks and just got back to Anchorage a couple days ago. Hmmm...where to start....
I was at Big River camp again for two weeks, one of my favorite camps due to the proximity of the mountains, the lake, and awesome helicopter rides. Below is a view of the camp from the chopper with Mt. Hesperus in the clouds, my running "trail" (e.g. the runway) and my "cool down" (e.g. the lake) which is more like an ice bath. I also hiked the ridge behind the camp.

What to do with a little extra time at the end of the day? Bury your coworker!My roommate and another coworker had to use their bear spray on a bear that was a little too close for comfort (8ft). When I asked them how the bear spray worked their response was, "Glad I'm carrying a gun." Naturally, a couple of us were curious how far the bear spray would go so we went for a walk and tested it out. It doesn't go very far...
My first view of the Northern Lights! There wasn't much color to it - the next camp that I'll be at from Sept. 26th - Oct. 4th is farther North so I'm hoping *fingers crossed* that I'll get some good views from there.
