So Jared and Kevin traipsed off to
Girdwood Fair in the middle of the woods with a bunch of hippies and other friends for the weekend. When Heidi dropped them off they had no reservation for a campsite, but they had food and a tent and decided to wing it. As it turns out, having no plan and a spirit of adventure pays off lots of times.
They found a friend, whose Mum had a friend, who had a house adjacent to the festival grounds. They pitched their tent on his rooftop (how cool is that?) and had a real bathroom to use all weekend. Being willing to head into the unknown isn't something Jared would have embraced until recently. His cousins are cool guys though and it doesn't hurt to have weather you love.:)

Check out that view! I do miss Alaska this time of year...

Pitching their roof-top tents.

It looks like a very Alaskan style house. He was exhausted when I talked to him on the phone last night so it must have been a lot of fun.
Addendum: Heidi posted some cool pics of their weekend at
her blog.
