    Heres some photos of this backpacking trip in Alaska, that I was doing at the beginning of this summer after I was kicked out of school. It turned out to be a great trip actually. We went out for 28 days, seeing no signs of civilization the whole time-No trails, no people, no trash. It was just us and the wildlife. We ended up going about 170 miles.

    Great Pics [​IMG]

    While it was undoubtedly a great learning experience, you’ve gotta get that high school diploma to get anywhere.

    Thanks guys, Im glad you like them.
    Actually, it was in the 50s and 60s where the snow was. That, along with the body heat you were producing made it comfortable to be wearing shorts.
    Its just that there was so much snow left from colder seasons that it was still melting in the summertime. Also, at night when the temperature dropped the melting snow would just turn into ice.
