summer {part four}

this was one of my favorite hikes this summer.

ben and i decided to take an overnight trip, just the three of us.
only one percent of alaska's land is privately owned,
which leaves a lot of land open for adventure and public use.
the state and federal government owns the other ninety nine percent of alaska, 
the state has built cabins all around alaska for public use, some have to be reserved ahead of time
 and some, like the shelter we went to, are first come, first serve (or share).

we also went blueberry picking on our hike. the blueberries are out.of.control this summer. 
alaskan's are serious about their blueberries. we have an entire season dedicated to wild blueberry picking.
we discovered on our trip that hope loves blueberries. she even picks bites them off the bush by herself.
we have the cutest dog!

please note* we started our hike at 8 pm. and this was the first night in months that i saw the moon.
