I'm loving the long days of sunshine here. You're really able to make the most of your days when the sun rises at 3am and sets at 11pm. The summer solstice is coming up on the 21st. There are 18 hours and 18 minutes of daylight, but the sun never completely sets. There's a race at the end of the month called Only Fools Run at Midnight that I'm excited about. It's only a 5K, but it sounds fun. I've been trying to be consistent with running. There's a half-marathon on the first of August that I would love to do. We will see.

On my day off I took the opportunity to hike Mt. Roberts. I wish I would have hiked further up, but we got to the tram and took that down, which was fun. It was a gorgeous day. We ate downtown after, then went to the rock gym.

Awesome view from the top.

The cruise ships look so small from the top.






























Last week after work we had "guide olympics" consisting of various challenges on and off the course. There were three teams; team hot karls, the ninjas, and ours....team beer and gear. Needless to say, we failed on many levels. I suppose you can't hold too high of expections with a team name like that. However, it was still a good time.







Bringing it in after the olympics.













Awesome sunset that night at the site.

I can't get enough of these mountains.














































Riding the boat into town. Hence the crazy windblown hair.

























Me. Hard at work. Ha.
















This is at ground school on our first zipline where we teach our clients how to zip properly.

















I love Alaska.
