Pantilat – Correction to your post about my Uncle, Jack English. He has not lived in the cabin for over 35 years. He did not make that move until after Mary’s death. He has a small monument there for her and his brother’s ashes are scattered thee (Leonard [my father] and Phil – I don’t believe Arnie’s ashes are there [1/2 brother] You’d need to check with Jack about that.)

Jack has always loved nature and wilderness areas. He and Mary used to have a friend fly them in to a remote glacier in Alaska and told him to pick them up in a month or so (they’d give a range of 3 days). If they were there in the given time frame, fine; if they weren’t, then leave – they wouldn’t be coming — meaning, of course that something had happened and they hadn’t survived. Then off they’d go, EACH carrying a big backpack.

Yeah!!! This is great stuff! – Some of the trails back there are clear and damn near groomed – others, not so cooperative with forward motion.
Cool write-up/ photos from these gnarly coastal mountains. Neat seeing Jack… -Gus
