Chapter 10
Quinn reached the top of the slope and paused to catch his breath beside a small ski hut, likely used for first aid and sundry needs up on the mountain during winter. He put his hands on his hips and turned in a slow circle. Last Frontier Lodge was situated at the base of the tallest peak in the area, offering a three hundred and sixty degree view. He scanned the nearby peaks and spun around to see Kachemak Bay in the distance. Two volcanoes were visible as well. Mount Augustine stood closer in the waters of Cook Inlet, the ocean inlet that led from the Pacific Ocean inland into Alaska and fed several small bays. Mount Illiamna was further in the distance. Mount Augustine was known for its occasional eruptions, spewing ash all over Southcentral Alaska and disrupting flights.
