Reports from the Field

Blake Crosby just arrived back in town. He and former AKT guide Jeff Porter are preparing to undertake the classic Pacific Northwest sea kayaking expedition. A paddle to Alaska! Blake has been staying at our home and filling our garage with an amazing array of vacuum packed meals, dry bags, solar panels, and kayak gear. He's also pre-packing boxes of supplies that we will mail up to various post offices up in Alaska. They have chosen a fairly early date to take this journey, and many of the small fish camps and general stores will still be boarded up for the winter. Careful planning is a must.
We are excited to follow his trip and look forward to his return to AKT for the summer!

In other news, we have two fantastic new guides that have already arrived. Asher March joins us from New Zealand, and Rachael Bates will be guiding for us as well as working as a NOLS instructor. Both of them have already proven themselves to be invaluable aides in getting a lot of the busy work done before things get really busy. We are very happy to have them aboard!
