12MileSummit
Went to 12 Mile Summit, north of Fairbanks about 80 miles, to see if Leif could get a paragliding ride in... unfortunately, after he climbed this hill (can you find him!?!) the weather up on top wasn't good conditions so he walked himself back down. Hard to do for a paraglider.

Munnin_waiting
Munnin and I waited for him at the bottom... picking berries in the mean time
