Ice, Fog, and Kayaks — 8 Comments

  1. What a memorable adventure, especially that wave coming at you! We wanted to paddleboard bear glacier but the weather was rainy and miserable the days we were there but we will most certainly make sure to plan extra time (and money) for it on our next trip there. As for that earthquake, I remember we were sitting in the RV working on the computers in Seward when it happened so it was very noticeable to us. It makes me wonder what it was like for anyone on a glacier or sight seeing tour at that moment. Pretty exciting I would imagine.

    • Nikki, it was also foggy and slightly rainy when we went in there. Made the time a bit surreal, even spiritual. And, even with all of my past private-pilot flying, getting in and out through that stuff in the helicopter was truly memorable. Impressive flying.

  2. Thanks for the transporting us to the glacier’s magic. We’ve been to the landward side of Bear, but that is tame beyond belief. Although you were not pleased with your photos, the words painted an excellent picture of your day. Next year is our turn for a 4-5 month odyssey to Alaska – our first without doing any workamping or volunteering. Thanks for the “appetizer”.

  3. Thanks for your posts.
    Hope you get a chance to visit Valdez on the way out. Lots of beautiful sites & kayak opportunities down here.
    Also take time to take a look at Sheep Mountain on the Glenn Hwy. Fun stop…

    • Yes, Carole and thanks for the encouragement. One of our few “plans” is to spend some time in Valdez, somewhere around third week in August. And we will check out Sheep Mountain for sure.

  4. Wow! I felt like I was there with you guys. Not just the photos, which were absolutely amazing, but your narrative made the whole adventure come to life. You had a truly once in a lifetime experience. Thank you so much for taking us along.

  5. Fantastic. Thanks for the great pictures. I was so envious. Glad you took the trip it was so much fun to read about it. A real gift for us arm chair travelers.
