Yep, it's true. I just don't care that much.
I'm posting this in response to a number of inquiries I have received recently... Decisions are being made and it looks like the Trek will happen again in 2010.
No details are set in stone yet, but it will probably be in early-mid July. One week on the trail.
We are planning on spending our time on the south side of the eastern end of the Alaska Range. Weather permitting. In 2008, heavy rains created dangerously high water in all the rivers in that area and we moved to the eastern side of the Talkeetna Mountains. That will be our fall back plan this time too.
Mainly "hardcore sightseeing" like all the other Treks have been. Maybe (hopefully) a bit more mud and bog and also deeper river crossings. Maybe some of our previous participants will offer some outsider's perception of just what that means.
We will have a limit of about 15 rigs total. That *might* be increased a small amount. We will probably be extending some personal invitations to a few people and then opening for applications from non-Alaskans. Any remaining slots will be available for locals.
Expect to see more info as it develops. For now, questions and comments are invited in this thread.
