"Got tight last night on absinthe and did knife tricks. Great success shooting the knife into the piano. The woodworms are so bad and eat hell out of all furniture that you can always claim the woodworms did it."

Nice trip like that spotThere is a trail up to the crest of Blackerby Ridge from a street in Juneau. The trail then continues to the top of Cairn Peak. I have spent three months living at the glacier camp Camp 17, and you had better than normal weather. Did you summit Observation Peak. This is an awesome ski. How is the snowpack this year.

Re: Nice trip like that spotDidn't climb Observation Peak. Haven't been back for several years so don't know what snow was like this year. Your website has some wonderful photos and maps of Juneau Icefield glaciers. Congratulations on having such an enduring career in glaciology research.
