I'm not exactly in Anchorage, but I'm close enough it doesn't matter too much for practical purposes. I chose to list Anchorage because I didn't want to be TOO specific. Anyway, a hike out to Skwetna would be a pretty interesting 6-7 day trip, if I can figure out whether the Knik actually freezes solid enough to be crossable anywhere. Then again, I guess if I drive closer and then walk, that would certainly save me some hassle. Feels a bit like cheating, but in retrospect that's probably what you meant... I mean, probably.
Frankly I could see myself doing a trip like that once or twice, and probably spending a lot more time in the state forest more directly to my east. That was essentially the original plan anyway.
Learn to return sounds interesting.... not sure it's what I'm looking for, but I could see myself giving it a whirl just for some cold weather advice and gear recs. If I do go I'll be sure to do a show and tell or at least a tell on how it went.... if there's any interest.
