Short Trip with the Wife

My wife and I played hooky from work today and decided to do some hiking. Didn't go out too long, but was able to practice/teach fire making and try out my new pac boots. Everything was wet so making fire was tough, but we got one going using cotton balls and TP that I carry. It was a real treat to see her so excited to be out there with me. She even got to see an Eagle. It was a great time and I hope she comes out more often. My boots are Ranger Peak Pac Boots that are rated to -80 degrees. They worked very well. It was snowing pretty good then turned to freezing rain then back to snow and was in the mid 30's. what a beautiful time of year in Alaska.
