n a 25 mile coastal bike ride which included an emergency stop while moose crossed the path.One evening I hiked to the top of Flat Top with a co-work and we picked fresh blueberries. The best part was we arrived back at our car at around 10 at night and it was still light out.

Oh yeah, on my last day I met up with an old friend, Tom Dayhill who I haven't seen for 20 years since we last made tasty sandwiches together at Subway.
After work was done I headed to Girdwood, AK to surprise my mom. After some hugs and giggles we hit a local trail which had a really cool hand car to cross high above a rushing river.
