Twas another grey day starting from the campground outside Delta Junction. It was a bit of a green tunnel as well. But, it had cleared up by the time I reached Quartz Lake. I went for a nice 7 mile hike to catch some views and ended it with a wade through the lake. Along my route, there was an old homesteader cabin with a moss roof that raspberry bushes had populated. Passed a family with a young kid shortly after.
"We're almost done hiking." says the kid.
"Oh."
"Did you pass the cabin with the raspberries!?"
"Yeah."
"I got to eat the roof!"
"That's pretty neat; you don't usually get to do that . . ."
"There were raspberries on there! So, I ate the roof."
"Have you ever tried to eat the roof at home?"
All bug-eyed, "No. No, that's not food stuff."
"Oh. I see."
Anyway, i continued up the Richardson Highway for a few more frustrating miles. I ran through all my tubes, but luckily the last one held. Wound up at Birch Lake for the evening and a glorious pseudo sunset. So, it wasn't all so bad.
