Here is some pictures of my most recent adventure. I spent last Thursday through Sunday morning on Lindenburg Mountain assisting the Alaska Power and Telephone wireless crew construct a helicopter landing pad for refueling generators. Lindenburg is approx. 3500 feet above sea level and let me tell you that the weather there can turn so quickly, we were finally forced into hiking down 1500 feet to another ridge Sunday morning with hope that the helicopter could get through the dense fog and give us a ride home. We got on board of the aircraft but let me tell you that it wasn't the most pleasant ride home. Wind and rain also competed against the fog. It was a adventure worth the while, the views were spectacular and gives me much appreciation for the area around us. However, the hike down was more like sliding down on our back sides and really challenging and concerning at times. You can see Petersburg off in the distance on one of the photos.
