A Day in the Life at Alaska Wildland Adventures

They are similar to the tent cabins that I have seen pictures of in Yosemite employee housing. Outside, it's not astronomical twilight yet, so I can see clearly enough to get to the bathhouse first to clean up a bit before heading to the main lodge…

I went to Cooper Landing…
