Thanks for the well wishes!

Lets see- 128 miles the following four weeks, better than half in the Brooks Range. Great trip, exceeded my expectations and they were high

My fitness was pretty good going in, but I was humbled a bit by the tundra- most of it relatively flat and thought I'd cruise, BUT sinking in with each and every step was tough- almost like postholing in the snow. Had to negotiate a lot of sketchy rock when we climbed, w/ a pretty heavy pack too (and even heavier w/ meat & head). But all in all, I was happy with my fitness level.
