DENALI

we took a twin otter plane up to denali national park.  circled mt mckinley, north america's highest peak and landed on ruth glacier.  it was EFFING AMAZING!!!  it was absolutely worth waking up at 4am and driving 5 hours from soldotna to talkeetna...it was worth being so tired after breakfast that we had to nap in the car.  it was worth being scared of flying in a small plane and wind turbulence to land on a friggin glacier cuz i felt like james bond!!!

• lex_benzeneRuth Glacier is a glacier in Denali National Park and Preserve in the U.S. state ofAlaska.[1] Its upper reaches are almost three vertical miles (4.8 km) below the summit ofMount McKinley. The glacier's "Great Gorge" is one mile (1.6 km) wide, and drops almost 2,000 feet (610 m) over ten miles (16 km), with crevasses along the surface. Above the surface on both sides are 5,000-foot (1,500-m) granite cliffs. From the top of the cliffs to the bottom of the glacier is a height exceeding that of the Grand Canyon. Ruth Glacier moves at a rate of 3.3 feet (1 m) a day and was measured to be 3,800 feet (1,200 m) thick in 1983.[2]
  
  Surrounding the Ruth Gorge are many mountains of the Alaska Range, including theMooses Tooth, with highly technical ice androck climbs on their faces. #Denali #mtmckinley #talkeetna#ruthglacier #otter #alaska @talkeetnaair

as vader approached the death star, his force was already feeling weak.  leaning his weight onto the clutch of his starcraft he collapsed onto the rudder spinning his plane off course and narrowly missing  crashing into a neighboring space craft.  he only regained consciousness the further he got away from the death star.

"what strange force has been placed in the death star to destroy me...HOOOOH" - all of a sudden all emergency signals went alert in his plane...forcing him into evasive maneuvers.

"crash landing imminent" - the plane retorted

vader, somewhat conscious...set a course for a neighboring planet- HOTH.   covered with snow and ice and wretched creatures that know nothing of the warmth.  a crash landing into a remote glacier...and no extra supplies and a faulty ship didn't worry the mighty vader until his radar flickered again....BEEP BEEP BEEP.....the missile lock icon buzzed furiously as vader turned behind to see a fleet of flying clams behind.  chasing, whizzing, whirling...ready to squirt space age clam juice at his craft.

"that must be it.  i am allergic to clam...HOOOOOOH"
