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.

Once back at our campsite, Mui lit a campfire and we enjoyed snacks and wine by the river. Didn’t remember to take photos, alas.

Instead, I’ll end the day with some sunset colors. Not just any old sunset colors, though. These were taken at 11:30p. I was about to go to bed when I glimpsed the pinks and lavenders in the sky and just had to go out to capture them.

The sun hasn’t set yet, but has gone behind the mountains. Add to that the ever-shortening days now that the Solstice is behind us ... and the fact that we are further south than we were ... and well, it looks like we will get a few hours of darkness here on out.Weiterlesen
