Photos from Alaska

I spent the past week with family in Gustavus, Alaska. I had an awesome time!


These are my family's chickens- they wander freely in the woods during the day and spend the nights in their snug coop. A very nice chicken life!


Emily with a chicken...


Puggy!


Me with the Bear Track Mountains behind me...



An Alaska Pond...


Wreck of a 1957 plane crash in the woods- the wreck is still there. Four passengers of the eleven on board were killed in the crash...


My brother Tom is a Park Ranger at Glacier Bay. We want up the bay on the boat one day when my brother was working on board...


He teaches passengers about the park as they travel up Glacier Bay....


Marjorie Glacier. On our day trip up bay we also saw Mountain Goats, Sea Lions, Humpback Whales, Orca, a Brown Bear with her three cubs, Sea Otters, Puffins, Bald Eagles and Harbor Seals. It was incredible!


Gustavus' Fourth of July celebration!


The Boy Scouts raised the Flag...


And then everyone played games, including trying to grab money off of a greased pole over the freezing river!


Our Bush plane...


View from the plane...


More from the Plane. The mountains were higher than our little plane!

A incredible Alaskan adventure!
