Saturday, May 14.
A beautiful morning in Flagstaff got us on our way to begin this grand adventure to the land of the midnight sun. Had good flights through Denver and Seattle and then the fun began. We left Seattle in the dark at 7:30, but the farther north we flew, the brighter it got first with a rosy horizon and then a dusky sky into Fairbanks at midnight. Snow capped mountains covered land we crossed with only an occasional light to mark civilization. Not sure if we saw Denali and there was no pilot chit-chat to passengers, but there was one huge peak as we got near landing that I think might have been it. The Dept. of Natural Resource has a cabin that they put up volunteers in and we shared it with another guy waiting also to be picked up to go to his position.
