Re: ended wellBetter than well!
That trip cured my sore depression (first months on a %^&$%$ job plus a girl of supposedly my dream dumped me ... you know it doesn't take much to make a young looser miserable :) ).
And it propelled me into the ambitious series of Arctic and Siberian expeditions. For, when I first skied the tundra, I found it abhorrent, and I didn't look forward to returning to the North again. The 1983 trip was a true eye-opener!

Re: !Thanks :) Just yesterday I chatted with the guy who lead that trip. He's busy organizing a 400-miler ski traverse of Mt St Elias ranges. I mention it just in case if someone thought that I am a tad crazy. Compared to some old pals, I'm just a regular totally boring fart!

Lovewith the North you fell in as you realized true Love never runs away when you come and see Her? Anyway, you were lucky to find the right cure soon enough - LOL I wasn't, just one year back!

Re: LoveEnchantment forever, that's so true! But, it's hard for people with real city jobs to give in to this passion.
At least I have miles and miles of high-altitude tundra valleys just a short distance away ... if I can't get the real thing :)
