I am also an inlander that has been surprised by the tide before. While traveling in New Zealand we were hiking around Abel Tasman National Park there. It is on the very north end of the south island. It is a very beautiful area with beaches and we walked down a river to get to the ocean there. There was a huge area that was dry ground and obviously from the the tide. We crossed the river and eddy area on feet, river was ankle deep and really more of a creek. By the time we got back and had to cross back over we had to swim over a 1/4 mile to get to the other side. This was only a couple hours later. I was amazed at how fast it changed.

I know it aint over yet but good grief that is some beautiful country.

This is amazing! 12 and 17 off-trail miles in any terrain is pretty significant, but in Alaska tundra and river bottoms it is especially aggressive. I am impressed. I spent a summer studying backcountry lakes, and 17 trail miles was our longest single-day trek, and that was stiff. Hats off to you and your crew.

Loving this thread. Thanks for the incredible photos and for taking us along with you.

Theat.....I say this without any hesitation.
There has never been a thread which captured my attention like this one.
Thank you, thank you.

I’ve been in and out of Alaska since 1958, guided up there for 20 years; have never equaled your adventure. Well done and thank you for sharing.

Thanks for sharing all this. The pictures are spectacular.

Agreed. I have questions though. What work do you do that lets you take these kinds of trips? And, more important...are they hiring? *wink*

@theat had a accident bear spray discharge as well this fall, similarly no one got hit. Did learn that you should carry powdered milk in your med kit as that's the only thing that is really going to help someone in the field.

Damn. If conditions persist after four hours…
