Mt. McKinley (2011) - Day 23

Talkeetna to Anchorage

07:00 - When the alarm starts blaring it's difficult to choose breakfast over another hour of sleep, but we do; a Standard Half breakfast with orange juice. Wes just gets a giant pastry of some sort.

There's a trio of people sitting near us. They keep glancing our way. Finally one lady announces that the iPad case I'm toting (by G-Form) is a design by her material science professor and that she had not yet actually seen one in public. I explain how I had come across it. She took a picture (of me and it) and that was that. Her social demeanor made it obvious that she was an engineer.

Outside, Bill was waiting for us. We grabbed our bags from the hostel, got a ride over to the Sheldon Air hangar and then to various other places as various other people loaded in along with their heavy baggage.

And then it was off to Anchorage and the Historic Anchorage Hotel for me and Wes.

Shortly thereafter we flew home and the trip was concluded.
