Training Hike Summary

I will try to update this post with new hike information as i receive/download it.

Sunday May 20, Murphy Dome -  Approx 2.5 miles (as I forgot to start my gps on time), 1.3 mph, 1.5 to 2 hours.   Amanda and Bobbi carried their packs.  I opted to leave mine home for the first hike. 

Thursday May 24, Moose Creek Bluff – Approx. 5 miles (oops on the gps, again), 2.2 mph, 2-2.5 hours. The three Fairbanks Chilkoot Chicks and my five year old daughter, Morgan, hiked with the Fairbanks Hiking club.  Bugs were on the down low for most of the hike.  We carried between 20-25lbs.

Saturday May 26, McGrath -  7.04 miles, 2.6 mph, 2:41 hours.  We started at Bobbi’s house with our 20-25lb packs and a lunch.  We hiked the black top to the end of McGrath and back up.  On the way up, we explored some back trails (aka powerline right aways). 

Thursday May 31, Ester Dome -  4.32 miles, 2.0 mph, 2:07 hours.  Very buggy.  Amanda, Bobbi, and myself hiked the trail with the Fairbanks Hiking Club.  We carried between 20-25lbs.
