Part 2/8:
Luke's journey began with a picturesque but unpredictable winter backdrop. Alaska had experienced a weird winter cycle of cold and warm days, but the freezing temperatures allowed Luke to traverse areas he wouldn't typically access due to deep snow. The combination of frozen swamps and diverse terrains offered opportunities for exploration while presenting challenges that demanded readiness and adaptability.
After some initial exploration in his K truck, Luke encountered a hidden ditch, resulting in a muddy, wet experience. Realizing the need to find a suitable camping spot, he drove for two and a half hours before deciding to set up camp.
