Hey Folks,

Here’s a motley crew – the 3 Rascals. Left to Right, Sergei “Borat” Egorov, Steve “Don’t Dude Me” New and Dan “Two Plates” Kelly – only Kevin “Kayfer” Kelly escaped my lens on this shot – I think he was further up the ridge looking for a bear. We dayhiked from camp this particular day, and got back in time for a great supper and sunset over the mountains, alpenglow and all – of course, I wasn’t able to shoot any of that, as I was off on another hike, with Two Plates, looking for the rain pants he’d accidentally left behind on the hike up near a waterfall. We found them and headed back to camp, where my camera lay sitting under the tarp, neatly, where I’d left it – always leave your camera behind when you head out near sunset for a hike, that’s one of my Golden Rules. We had awesome alpenglow on Mt Sanford, Mt Wrangell and Mt Zanetti, all over 13 500′, and yours truly was walking around the tundra without his camera. I really do a great job, eh?

Cheers

Carl
