I am a few years away from retirement but want to make the trip while still young (57) and fit enough to withstand the rigors of such an adventure. Don’t wait too long and I will meet you at the trailhead west of Healy, Alaska. Actually, maybe meeting in Healy would be better. Also, I am not one to scimp on provisions and believe in full preparation and arming to the teeth. I am not interested in being caught in a helpless state like McCandless.
I will be 61 in July but am in pretty decent shape except for the scars and weakness from six years of battling melanoma plus taking meds for my atrial fibrillation.
Yet I work out at the gym everyday and hold down one full time and one part time job so I ain’t dead yet!
Summer of 2009 a possibility?
