Behind once again....

Hello All!
Another summer has started. This summer Evan and I are in Wrangell- St. Elias National Park, working out of a wee little place called Slana! We are on the road system, halfway between Tok and Glennallen on the Tok cut-off. IF anyone is driving up I highly suggest you have a little layover on Slana. We have an extra bed!
Evan is a backcountry Ranger again and I am working in the Ranger Station as an Interpretive Ranger. So far so good. I had two week of training, which was a blast. We started in Copper Center, came to Slana for a few days, drove down to McCarthy for a few more days and had some great adventures touring the mining town of Kennecott.
I'll post some pictures when I can...internet here is not the greatest, though I am told that we have it easy since we no longer need a generator for electricity!! Ahh, the simple pleasures we overlook when we live in the city!
Slana is a beautiful place to be, Evan and I go hiking, ride bikes and look for decent rocks to climb. Unfortunately there is not a lot of stable rock here, so mostly we just look at a lot of rocks!
I am making an effort this summer to actually post on the blog, so keep your eyes and ears open people!
lots of love
Ange
