Picture of the Day

So there have been some requests to keep the blog updated.... and some other comments that the blog lacks some serious picture action and even more serious lacking in good stories from the time up on the Last Frontier. So here's my solution... Picture of the Day (ish). Every few days I'll update the blog with a picture from the summer with some details about where it is, what trip it was on, why its cool, etc. That way everyone can continue to have a procrastination destination at work/home and I can get more of the pictures online without having to upload them all at once. Genius!

This picture was taken on May 18th on my first 12 day Sea Kayak trip in Glacier Bay. It was about 5 days into the trip and we had stopped for lunch on this beautiful day on a beach in Maquinna Cove. The tide was just starting to come in, and we were planning on riding the tide up toward the upper arms of the bay. While we sat there enjoying the sun we had to keep moving the boats up on the beach every 10 minutes or so or else they would float away. My boat is the 3rd from the bottom in the picture. The mountains across the way in the picture are part of an unnamed range that divides the two major arms of the bay. By the time I got back to this same spot a month later most of the snow from that range would be gone. This is probably my favorite beach in all of Glacier Bay, I love how clear the water is, and there is such a great view of the east arm from the place I am standing!
