Well, we held the 2nd Annual Kite Festival Invitational on the Harding just before the 4th of July. Rachel, Barry, Weston, and I headed up for 2 days of kiting/skiing, and then Weston and I crossed part of the Harding to packraft to the Kenai, while Barry and Rachel (the more intelligent members of the group) hiked back down the Exit Glacier . . .

Packing up after our first night at the cabin – the afternoon included some eating, sleeping, and skiing . . . there was some attempt to kite, but the wind didn’t cooperate . . . (photo: Rachel James)
