We took a trip around Iniakuk Lake yesterday to survey the wildfire damage. I was stunned. Somehow we were spared while 85% of the east ridge was not. We do not overlook burned out ruin. Anywhere else on the lake, that's all you see.

We are closing down Iniakuk Lodge today and flying back to Fairbanks on Monday. It's been a summer to remember, for sure. Iniakuk Lake Fire 320 is still smoldering in places. We'll see what 2017 brings.
