Glacier Spotting

A few weeks ago we were roughing it in Alaska. Cookie Pockets found a bear.


The tall peak is Mount Saint Elias (the second highest mountain in both the United States and Canada [18,009 feet]). It's ~40 miles in the distance.


Hubbard Glacier, the longest tidewater glacier in the US with a calving face 6 miles long. That's right, six-miles long, although we are only seeing 3-4 miles wide here, due to the island and land on the right hand side.

We're Growing Things

Cookie Pockets holding the largest zucchini we'd ever seen!!! The yellow squash was a good size, but man, that zucchini was huge! Much bigger than the peanut she's carrying...

Our garden on 7/11/08

Fresh from the garden when we got back from AK. They may look big, but the bell peppers are only about the size of golf balls.
