Our second day we woke up and were at the Talkeetna Air Taxi hangar by 8am and checked in, weighed our gear, and staged everything. We spent most of the day waiting for weather and a backlog of climbers flying out from previous bad weather. You give them your cell phone number then you can wander around town until it's go time. We ended up getting into base camp around 6pm that evening so we set up camp, made a bit of dinner and went to bed. It was a beautiful evening and a great way to start off our trip. We were scheduled to fly in in a 185, but my sled wouldn't fit in so we got upgraded to a beaver. The flight in was great because it was just TJ, Me, and an AMS guide heading in for a personal trip so were weren't crowded in with a bunch of people. The Alaska range is amazing.
Cheers,
Josh
