Alaska-Yukon Expedition: Party in Haines - Help Plan Andrew's Halfway-Point Celebration!

By Monday, Andrew Skurka will arrive in Haines, Alaska, marking the midpoint in his epic, 4,700-mile Alaska-Yukon Expedition. This means he has traveled roughly 2,350 miles—all by his own power via skis, on foot, and by packraft. Though he's trekked some 25,000 miles over his 29 years, Andrew readily admits that this has been his hardest challenge yet. We made him our Adventurer of the Year in 2007 for his 6,875-mile Great Western Loop expedition. While chatting with Andrew on the phone yesterday, he said that trek was like a walk in the park compared to his current endeavor. Luckily it's all the highs and lows have been documented in his blog posts.

Now it's your turn to get involved. Andrew has asked for us to help plan his halfway-point celebration in Haines. What should he do? Where should he eat? This guy has been in the Alaskan outback since March, he deserves to have a good time. So if you live in Haines, have been to Haines, or have a friend who can chime in, post your comments below. Let's make sure Andrew knows we're rooting for 2,350 more successful miles.

I Google Haines’ best restaurant and came up with 3 top favorite place that Andrew can get a bite before he picks up his used skis and continue with his expedition. First off is the Fireweed Restaurant located at Blacksmith Rd Historic Bldg, known for their great pizza, calzone and salad. Second is the Bamboo room and pioneer bar at Second Avenue known for their great sandwiches like Charbroiled Halibut sandwich. Last, is the The Commander's Room at Hotel Hasingland located at Ft. Seward best known for its fine dining cuisine that will certainly drive you with ecstasy. I hope this helps.

Congrats! You are my Hero!!
The physical stuff is amazing. But the mental toughness is incomprehensible. Thanks for all the inspiration.

Burger, fries, ketchup, shake, pie.
Repeat till satiated.

And now the remoteness really begins. Good routes and good weather. Best of luck.

Andrew, thanks for letting us live vicariously. I would suggest a pedicure on any remaining toenails you might have;) Seriously though, I would find the largest pizza or burger & fries in town and wash it down with a cold beer. Then I would start a petition to Ben & Jerry's to develop a special Andrew Skurka Thru-Hiker Flavor in honor of the massive quantities of their product you have consumed.Keep living the dream.
