This Way to the Exit, You Glacier.

Continuing the Seward madness (much delayed, I am sorry), the three of us woke up Saturday morning, after a night of rain, rain, and rain, to more rain, rain, rain. Well scratch that, we first all woke up in the middle of the night because Kathryn had somehow shifted diagonally and had taken over Kathleen's pillow. Kathleen realized this when her face was smashed up against the side of the tent and a curious chipmunk put his front paws on her face trying to figure out what the odd protrusion coming from the tent was. She then woke me up and I realized Kathryn had gained full control over the bottom half of my sleeping pad with her feet. So we both eventually woke up Kathryn with our laughter. Anyway, around 9am we all woke up for good and intentionally. We packed our bags and decided to go on a hike! Primrose Trail was our destination. Now nothing really exciting happened during our hike except that we made it to Long Lake (which was in fact very long) and while hiking on the trail I kicked a mushroom which turned out to be more like an exploding brick. Do not, I repeat do not kick large mushrooms. After the hike, the three of us met up with the other roomies and Corinna (pseudo-roomie) and chowed on some lunch. Once our bellies were full (which for us campers was much needed and overdue), we headed over to Exit Glacier to do some more hiking! It is beautiful here. The glacier is monstrous! Now it is kinda a tourist hang-out so unfortunately we weren't allowed to climb all over the glacier like we did other places but still totally worth the visit. And here is what we saw...
Approaching it! See those people up there? Yup, use them for a size gauge. This puppy is big. 


And blue! And just a little bit dirty. 

And photogenic! Also apparently full of jokes! Brought giggles to our faces! 


And a great back drop! I could just imagine the prom theme...a night on ice or a night of black and blue with a nice glacier backdrop for the photos. I might sell this idea to walmart... 
Anyway, the glacier was great. It brought all sorts of creatures...ahhh...people together! Here is where I point out the items of clothing we are all wearing...now how does that compare to this? 
Count em! One, two, three different types of camo. 
And...

Ahhhhh...loss for words. But hey, at least she can drop it like it's hot when the glacier gets too cold.
