Kari's Birthday




Well, my lovey turns 23 this weekend and to celebrate we've decided that we're going to hike up 4 miles to a cute little remote cabin called Raven's Roost on Mitkof Island. The trail head starts just behind Petersburg, Alaska airport. Middle section of hike is very steep, then flattens out along ridge top. We are allowing 3 hours for ascent. Once we arrive, there are all kinds of wildlife such as grouse, deer, black bear, and ptarmigan. Endless opps for hiking, berry picking and excellent scenery. The top of the cabin has a secondary exit especially for years of high snow accumulation. If your interested in viewing this cabin just go onto Tongass National Forest and click on remote cabins, search for Raven's Roost. We are so excited to get away for a couple days and how fortunate to have this great recreation opp just out our back door. I'll post pictures just as soon as we get back. Hope your all enjoying our site and I'm off now to take our fresh caught coho salmon out from the oven. Take Care.
