Will Jason Moffat Make it to Canada?

Will Jason Moffat make it into Canada? With a warrant out for his arrest we intended to find out.

Step 1: Get shit together.
Step 2: Say goodbye to “the van” (the prized possession of Jason, Seth and I)
Step 3: Leave Anchorage (much easier said than done) departure time: 2:00 pm.

So… we didn’t make it too far the first day. We ended up camping at an empty, desolate, owl-infested campsite near Tok, Alaska.

We did manage to set up tents before dark… barely. The only way to properly describe the weather is… It was freezing balls. The normally firewood-abundant forest of Alaska seemed void of anything flammable. We did finally manage to get a fire going using some small green twigs, several magazines, and pieces of smashed guitar.

Other evening activities included owl hunting, “fighting to the death” with flaming sticks, and taking sweet-awesome pictures with Jason’s camera.

Luckily we had a three-man tent and a two-man tent at our disposal for our sleeping needs. We quickly realized however that with Mel, Jacob, Jason, Ben, Ashley, and me, that we had made an unfortunate mathematical error.

The thing about three-man tents is that they were never designed to house four people.

Anyways… one thing led to another and it ended up snowing that night.
