2019 (3 years ago) Denali Expedition, day 23/23
Arrived at the Base Camp at 5:00 a.m. Vera digged out our cache with jerky and other snacks, which tasted fantastic. Then set up tent and I dropped to sleep a bit. Vera started melting snow and packing our stuff for air. At 09:30 a.m. we left Base Camp in Talkeetna Air Taxi.

After 22 days of only snow, ice and rock, the green foliage was producing previously unknown very deep sharp and distinct impression, not sure how to call it. We both entered mental state of absolute inner peace and harmony, and remained in it for the next few days. Nirvana. Unreal pleasure from food, sleep and shower, which we took each in generous amounts.

2019 (3 years ago) Alaska Highway Yukon

After climbing Denali, we had no rush to get back to BC - during all twenty two days on the mountain we had never been homesick or missed city life. Is it not what they call "a state of harmony" - when only what's needed is present? Remove one necessary piece - you will break the harmony, or add one unnecessary piece you will break the harmony too.
