Big snow storm today, so I bid a fond farewell to the Dalton and am on the way to Denali again to hopefully find wolves. While the far north is somewhere I will remember for the rest of my life, some of the little things in the civilized world are nice to come back to — I’m drinking hot chocolate in a coffeehouse, I’m warm, I just got a shower, and I don’t have to run outside into the freezing cold when nature calls. The Dalton was beyond incredible, but civilization does have a few good points, too.
