WOW! I had no idea there'd be so much intrigue on "THE NOTE" HAHA. For those that just have to know it was a fellow RV couple that made the trek down "Alaska's Worst Road" and they were inviting us over for a beer...sadly we didn't get home till late and they were early risers so we weren't able to connect. It happens sometimes where people see our rig and stop by to say hi, but we're not home...so they leave a note. It's always nice to get a hand written note from other travelers. Addressing some of the other questions: Safe Hiking - We were told by the Wrangell - St. Elias National Park service that the glacier is not covered in snow and therefore it is safe to walk on without worry of unexpectedly falling into crevasse. Crampons Not Necessary - We were told by many that Crampons weren't necessary, but if you really want to spend some time on the glacier they are a must and can be rented for $20 at the local outfitters in town. Jason is Crazy - Yes, he is and although it might not have been the smartest thing to do getting that close to the crevasse we all survived...and yes it looked way worse than it really was. If you want to read more details on how to get here, what the roads are like, where to camp, etc read our post: www.gonewiththewynns.com/glacier-hike-mccarthy-alaska

I was *curious* about "the note". And, I was also *curious* about the rental rate for the crampons. And, you addressed both, so Thank You! ["Curiosity" has a nice ring to it, like it could almost be the name of a Catamaran???!!]

Now that's a very cool experience. It's not everyday you get to play on a glacier. I don't have a bucket list, but if I did, that would be on it. Thanks guys.

That's amazing... good for you guys! Thanks for taking us on your journey.

Amazing, bucket list for sure. Thanks for sharing this experience with us.

Heart in my mouth watching Jason who has come to feel like a favorite brother

Wow! Another well constructed video with an incredible set. Thanks again!

Incredible!!!! Thanks so much for taking us on the journey to this amazing place.

Wow, breathtaking! Thanks for taking us along.

Wow! Just beautiful! Thanks for sharing your trip!

Absolutely breathtaking. Even though I live in a place where I could hike on a glacier, I've never done it and now I am sorry I never made that effort. Thank you so much for the gorgeous footage.

That was by far the BEST video so far!!!!! STUNNING!!!

You two inspire me to LIVE. Thank you dear ones!!

Amazing! Beautiful! Breath-taking! Wow! Thank you!

fantastic yet again you 2 thank you so much for the inspiration & sharing your dreams

Thank you, for the video. Beautiful glacier!

Stunning video! Awesome guys.

Just beautiful!

That was AMAZING I was on the edge of my seat and holding my breath anytime you guys walked 'to close' to the edges and when Justin kept creeping to use the camera to look over the side holy cow..... aside from all of that and I am glad that everything went well, the footage was absolutely stunning and for someone who is afraid of glaciers this was a great way to see everything from the safety of my own home yet still have the thrill and anxiousness along with you.. I loved this one.. you guys are Awsome.. I am still binge watching sorry I am hooked you are so fun and real and your experiences are amazing🤗 I really love you guys along with Cleo and Singa💖💜💖💜💖

awesome!! you two are soo fortunate tobe able to do this!!! 👍

Really nice footage, great job guys!

Sometimes I fear for your safety (are you listening Jason?). I always celebrate your spirit, and forever look forward to following in your footsteps. Thanks for all you share. I know it's a lot of work in spite of your obvious talent.

My wife & I visited Alaska a few years ago and got up close to a couple of glaciers but nothing like what you guys did. Makes me think "Dang! We were so close...!" Your videos are just excellent! Thanks so much!

Alaska is our dream trip! And this just makes me impatient to go and see the beauty of it. Amazing video as always!

Alaska and glaciers they are fabulous thank u for such great shots. Be careful out there🐻

What great scenery! Thanks for sharing your trip! I hope to make it to Alaska sometime!

That is a beautiful place. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful! Let's see more!

Thrilling video! Thanks, as ever.

Awesome footage! Cheers.

Thank you for sharing this was simply amazing and truly beautiful.

Spectacular views! Absolutely breathtaking. Thank you so much for sharing this amazing hike with us. Nikki sometimes I think you need to put a leash on Jason....he looked like he got way too close! You guys are the best!

absolutely stunning beauty. thanks for sharing.

Great video guys!

Glacier Hiking officially added to bucket list

Jeez. This was amazing!

So incredibly beautiful, yet sadly tugging at my heart strings.

That was epic guys!

Great Video. Thank you for posting.

Awesome video. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful! I want to see that with my own eyes! You make me want to travel.

Stunning

THAT WAS FREAKIN AWSOME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This was really fun to watch! I have a disability that keeps me from being able to do these things myself, so it's always great to see good footage and hear accounts of what it's like.

Same I have arthritis and cam never go on expeditions like this but it's fun to watch

Don't know that I would have gotten that close to the edge. Great vid!

Amazing!! Well done! Thanks!

Loved the glacial video!

Incredible! Thank you so much!

I've just watched this great vid with a smile on my face and pure envy in my heart it must be an amazing experience thanks for sharing :0)

This is one of the most amazing videos you have produced to date. Jason scared me easing out on that one ledge without being safety off. Had he slipt there would be no saving him. The scenery was so beautiful and pristeen.

awesome scenery!!!🐻

Sweet Video!

I've been to the foot of the Athabasca Glacier in Alberta, Canada. We walked on it a small ways but didn't have Crampons. It was still an experience! Excellent video!

Wonderful trip and hike footage. You did a superb job on the video, as usual. I'm amazed that you drove that motorhome out to McCarthy. Some video from the trip would have been interesting. It's sad to see the glacier melting at such a fast rate, but, I guess that's the time we live in, plus, they melt some every summer naturally. The leaning over the edge part was super scary. I probably would've done it, also, but a rope would have made me feel more comfortable. Thanks again, and Happy Trails!

Nice work! Gorgeous footage. Perfect color. Seems like any direction you point your camera in Alaska there's a beautiful view to capture.

Thank you. Be careful. Great motivation for us to make the Alaska trek. Did I say BE CAREFUL? We selfishly want to see more videos of your adventures.

Be still my heart you need a longer selfie stick so you don't take such chances. Enjoyed it very much, just beautiful.

WOW, thanks for this.

We did the exact same hike in may 2015 and boy it was the best experience ever. The only difference, our guide had a stove and hot chocolate and apple cider and he used the glacier water.

Edge of Alaska is one of my fav shows! I started watching your video without reading the description and when i started to recognize the scenery i was like....WHAT!!! :)

Awesome video as always. Gotta say though, not knowing what the note is at the end killing me LoL.

Great report. Awesome sights. It looked like a good day.Watch out where the huskies go and don't you eat that yellow snow.Looking forward to the next installment.

Inspiring!

This was absolutely beautiful. As good as any documentary...Be careful...Maybe you need one of those small drones in this type of situation with the camera....Such beauty....

AWESOME!!!!!

I think it is time to come visit Alaska!

Gorgeous! Can't wait to get up there and enjoy it. (A little too close on the one shot Jason, you almost got free admission at the glacial water park :) )

Alaska to Panama, how time fly 's good on you guys!

Oh, man. I am DIGGIN' on your AK / Canada vids. Have had vivid dreams of being up there but have yet to make it. Thanks for stoking my fire.

Awesome!

Very nice. I just watched you uys on TV.

I was glad to hear of the note too. It was just a cool lil' adventure type of moment. Did you ever get in touch with the people that left it later after the trip? And had you guys ever seen the tv series "Edge of Alaska"..about McCarthy...and the whole Neil trying to bring in travelers to that exact Kennecott mines area and the people that live there fought about it all, especially Jeremy...and they had a lil' showdown on that same walking path that you guys were on at one point..trip huh?? Neil owns the saloon, etc in town..I think you went to. I gotta watch more of your stuff later..I found you through looking at McCarthy and Kennecott, and you guys are pretty cool to watch. Let's us kind of feel like we're there even though we can't go...you're giving us a precious lil' glimpse, so I appreciate all the lil' zoom ups and the lil' things, the details...even if you don't think they would be important...sometimes people need or can use, or want the smallest lil' aspect.

That Bear Pooh would make me think GET OUT'A HERE!!! lol

That is incredible. What I would give to see that in person.

Beautiful, I would have loved to take a sip of that glacial water!

NICE!

Wow o wow!

Wow awesome video...although I'm now convinced your both a bit insane. Seeing what you were walking on from what I know of glaciers was a possible fall into a deep crevasse some places obvious and even more dangerous the places its not solid underneath your feet. I'm shocked there was no guide and you weren't all roped together...I'm so glad you had a wonderful experience though.

omg i just commented and i feel like im the only way baring negativity too. like wth, no ropes, no axes, probably no ice screws. jumping around without crampons... couldve easily slid into the small creek and be swept in the rivers that run under the glacier. im skeptical whether they even have the experience or know how to RESCUE with a rope lol im more or less shocked and concerned to EVERYONE watching this thinking it is cool.. PLEASE dear god do NOT do this. i would count them lucky. wear crampons. rope in together. dont leap and bound over crevasses or glacier streams. every step you take is a risk and a chance to die. its not funny

Beautiful. Now I'm officially jealous. :-D

Did that bear eat a bag of skittles?! Man, I love these videos!

It's beautiful scenery but NO WAY would I have the guts or energy for that hike. Have fun n be careful. Thanks for sharing your adventure .

nice video like the place

nice !!

Dude that was crazy walking out to the edge of that cliff with no safety rope!

Great Video!!!!! Was very nice to meet you both at the Teklanika Campground. We drove by here but was pressed for time and didn't stop into McCarthy. Looks like that is on the list for the next trip. Glad you both liked it. Did you stop and the Matsunaga Glacier as well? Anyways will continue to watch your videos!!! Lisa says Hi and Aloha!!!!!

Geez, Jason, that was too close for comfort ... please don't do that again ... lol

All of these views and thumbs up, well let me be the first to comment. AWESOME and Great Inspiration for others to take heed. Keep up the good work!

Fantastic video guys thanks for all your hard work

great place to hike ... kindda scary, but very inspiring ...maybe someday ... i just wonder ...what was in that note at end ... :P :P you guys r great ... best wishes ..

Holy crampons, Batman! Did you see how close Jason go to the edge of that cravasse?

I was puckering up when you were close to the edges.
