Alaska expedition 2011

Headed back to Alaska August 4th 2011 for another Backpacking expedition. I'm looking for other backpackers who want to share the cost of vehicle rental, Bush Pilot, hostel and Sat phone rental. I have done this now for 3 years and have established a connection keeping the cost down to a bare minimum thus making a trek into Alaska's wilderness with a Bush Pilot as support cheap and includes several day Hostel stay in Anchorage.
If interested please send me an e mail so I can send you further details and cost. I make no money at this as we will split the cost equally.
Some pics last couple years.

Wow, Sounds like an interesting trip. A group of 6 of us did a 3 week canoe trip on the Yukon River years back, one of those 'once in a lifetime' trips. I still use a lot of the gear I bought for that trip, just replaced my tent after using it for 22 yrs. Enjoy your trip.

Thanks binzer/ I do a trip there every year now for the last 4 years. 2011 I have 2 trips. Every year I go I have another trip of a lifetime experience.
Alaska has forever changed my life and the way I backpack.

I envy you. I wish I have reached that time in my life when I can do what I want to do and enjoy it. I wish you a safe and enjoyable trip.

If I didn't have a destination wedding I am in I at the end of August I would be all about this trip! I have always wanted to go to Alaska and travel!!!

Oh man, if I did not have kids to worry about I would go! I have always wanted to do something like that. I am hopping that I will be able to trek Alaska when the kids are a bit older and my partner would not mind me being gone so long.

I retire in 31 more months. If you are still doing these trips and want company in roughly 2.5 years, I will be all over this like a fat kid on a doughnut when the time comes.

I've even got places to stay up there with friends.
