Whittier, Alaska -
Fishermen Town
Population: 250
Of which, 90% live in one building...creepy? Just wait it gets better...
Accessed through a one lane tunnel (the only way to get in and out unless on a boat),
2.5 miles long, every hour people are freed from Whittier and every half hour people from real world can enter Whittier. That triangle is the entrance and the tunnel goes right through that mountain complete with glacier on top!
Tunnel, dun, dun, dunnnnn...
So why on earth are we going to this town? Because we want to go...
CAMPING!!!! (And kayaking, but that will be added later)
And camping we did! As well as utilize our great location.
What is wrong with this picture?
Correct! Why are there only 7 beers in that great cooling spot which is fed by a glacier?
But oh don't worry we had more, and clearly we were quite entertaining...
I mean Kathryn looks thrilled!
Anyway, we started a fire like good ole wilderness women!
And we hiked around!
I mean really, LOST anyone?
And we did not fight explosive fires,
but not due to lack of trying.
And we took family photos!
We played at the park!
And most importantly, we saw boat names like this...
Yup, had a few of those.
Can't say anyone would like that.
And well I've had my fair share of benders in my day, but taco bender? That's a new one and in contemplating it, I think a new one worth trying. Taco Bell time!
Whittier was great fun and quite beautiful! And to be honest, the phrase "nothing shitter than a day in Whittier" is definitely mistaken, I mean, who can go wrong with a place that has a glacial river perfect for chilling brewskis?
Oh and P.S. we purchased Bailey's here and drank it only in realizing post return to Anchorage that it expired in 2008. Perfect vintage.
