(est. Dec. 7, 2000)

I've topped the windswept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, or even eagle flew.

~ John Gillespie Magee, Jr. (excerpt from "High Flight")

Meet at 6:30 pm in the parking lot of Kincaid Elementary School (4900 Raspberry Road).  Pam Richter has arranged for Dana to lead us on a tour of Kulis Base.  Dana will take us through rescue C-130s and helicopters as well as some of the maintenance shops.  He says:  "There's enough to see, on the aircraft as well as a few different maintenance shops, that it could reasonably take an hour-plus; totally free-lance/we can make it up as we go, and not overdo it for anybody's schedule."

Please bring an ID.  If we didn't get out too late we could go for an outing at Kincaid or Tastee Freeze, whichever cultivated more interest.

The Epic Concept

The Thursday Evening Epic events are non-competitive, adventurous training runs HELD YEAR ROUND on and off trails in southcentral Alaska.  Generally these events are of 2 to 4 hours duration.  Participants are expected to be capable of surviving the difficult conditions present, which often include, but are not limited to, rugged terrain, nearly impenetrable vegetation, severe weather, uncertain routes....  Participants and leaders MUST BE SELF SUFFICIENT.  If adversity happens, participants and leaders MUST BE COMMITTED TO SELF RESCUE.
