Sharp's Travels

We both slept good last night. We were up early and I made pancakes for breakfast.

I had a number of books I’ve read and the campground has a book exchange so Gay & I took them over to the office to exchange.

There were a number of hummingbirds at the feeders by the camp office. That’s my favorite bird. I love to watch them buss in for their food.

At 10am we took our chairs down by the office for Spike’s Sunday Prayer meeting. It lasted 30 minutes and by 10:45 we were all lined up ready to carpool to Salmon Glacier. It was 28 miles up an old dirt mining road with lots of pot holes. It was just a beautiful day to drive up there.

This is one of the world’s biggest glaciers you can drive to. We went past a few old gold mines on the way up. We parked and hiked up the far end of the snow covered road.

The glacier was really neat. We could see the different shades of blue-green in sections of it. The mountains surrounding it were beautiful. There were lots of waterfalls flowing down into the canyon.

We started back down and heard on the radio that someone had spotted a bear. We weren’t fortunate enough to see it, but there will be more bears on this trip I’m sure.

We stopped at the overlook on back down the road and had our picnic lunch before returning to camp.


At 6pm we all headed to the Seaalaska Inn for happy hour and a halibut dinner.
