Day 54 Ends with Sunset Colors

The 7:00p shuttle from Kennecott not only brought us back to McCarthy, but then transported us to the footbridge since the free shuttle stops operating at 7:00p. Lesson learned: if we happen to be on that last shuttle from K town, we’ll ask to be taken to the footbridge directly.
