Kantishna

Spent yesterday having fun! Took a flight into Kantishna (the deepest part of the park accessible by road) and my pilot named Connie was very nice and friendly. Cost only $20 as opposed to the $175 that they usually charge guests because I'm an employee. When I got inside, played ping pong at the lodge with the employees before taking the shuttle bus out. Had a really cool driver named Gary, and I managed to get him to give me a ride back to the hostel. Lucky... otherwise I'd have had to hitchhike in the dark. Not too many pictures, sky was kinda overcast. Connie is a flight instructor in Iowa - should I go take lessons? He also suggested being a flight stewardess. More and more my thoughts are starting to drift back to what I'm gonna do once I'm back home. Job hunting is the worst!

Thoroughfare river near Eielson


Pretty tundra illuminated by the setting sun... looks like flower fields?


... and there's a huge pile of bear scat containing blueberries, crowberries and cranberries! Haha.
