BACK PACKING IN ALASKA YEARS AGO

We bought ourselves a little device that converts old slides to digital pictures.  Connie has started going through our thousands of slides and we are having a lot of laughs.  Thought I would share a few with you and you will probably be seeing many more.  The quality is not the best, but you will get an idea.  The pictures are of a couple of backpack trips on the Kenai Peninsula in the late 70's or early 80's.

Connie and her dog Ryan on a summer trip.

Our first backpack tent that we used on our trip up to AK and for a number of years.

Backpacking in the fall called for warm and weather proof clothes.

Ryan headed down the trail after a night of rain and snow.



Connie and Pam descending below the snowline.

The views were great though.
