Sheri Log: Day 4





First photo: Glacier close up
Second photo: White birds along the trail (Sheri is trying to find out what they are right now).
Third photo: Sheri climbing down. It doesn't look like it in the photo, but this is steep.
Fourth photo: Us on top of the mountain where we ate lunch.

Today we hiked to the ice caves/edge of the glacier. We blazed our own trail for a while, climbing over the mountain on snow that hasn't been touched for as far as you can see. I liked it, much easier than in the summer. With all that snow we could sit on our butts and slide down the steep parts. Of course it's a little scary when you start sliding off the edge, but so funny. Sheri said I was trying to kill her today, not true. She did keep running into branches across the paths. We hiked for 4 hours. It was great fun. Lots of laughs, we meet some people on the trail and after we passed them Sheri said "I heard people talking and I thought it was a bear." OMG I laughed so hard apparently she thought that Yogi was in the woods, cuz he is the only talking bear I could think of. We both laughed so hard we almost peed our pants.

After our hike we relaxed a little and then went to the Red Dog Saloon, for dinner, but they are not serving food right now. This place is famous and is on the travel channel whenever they talk about Alaska. We had a couple beers, then headed to El Sombraro for dinner. It's our most popular Mexican Restaurant.

Again we got a good nights rest and right now we are waiting for Bob to make our breakfast. Biscuits and gravy. Yummy! MJ
