Aurora in Healy, March 2023

Packing Begins, Week 26 in Healy

We arrived in Healy on March 17 and plan on leaving September 21, just shy of 27 weeks living in a tiny dry cabin in Alaska. 

April Aurora, good times!
Still finding plenty of blueberries

We did bring more than we needed.  Both of us have too many clothes and plan to take the surplus back to VA.  Some of the gear can go back as well.  We should return to Alaska next year with a lighter load! We brought exactly the right amount of venison from VA, eating the last pack of burger tonight.

I can now do the dishes without thinking through every step.  If I am day dreaming while I wash I may negligently use 3 cups of water, but usually keep it to 2 cups. I am looking forward to a few months of plumbing this winter, particularly for handwashing!

C and my Dad in July, ground tour

We will be meandering our way back, heading to Valdez for one last fishing trip before leaving Alaska.
