Alaska Journey Day 55 / by Dave Hileman

The Day of the Noise

Enjoyed the well done and informative VC near Portage Glacier at the Chugach National Forest on our way into the Kenai. A confusing map (I’m sure we did not make a mistake) lengthened our hike from 1.5 to 3.5 miles but it was level ground. Zero birds, zero animals. But Cindy did get to climb up and through the fence at an elevated walkway. 

In Soldotna, about 15 miles from our planned stay, a bearing started screeching. We stopped and, after confirming the issue, encamped at Fred Meyer just down the street with several others - one running a very loud generator that I hope soon stops. Going to try and find help in the morning.

Cadillac’s Most Correct Viewpoint

I spent the day writing notes to the multitude of beautiful female Moose who are hanging on my every word and clearly adore me. I just need to choose who to take on a date to the marsh. BdB is not back yet, what could take so long, those shirts are everywhere. The guides looked at ice again. And we are sitting in a noisy parking lot. I can barely get my writing done. I may have to walk around and intimidate a few folks with my magnificent antlers. One of my most outstanding qualities.
