Bump this one back to the top and keep it alive.

The reason my son could not go sheep hunting with me. Within a week of my finding out I drew a sheep tag in April, he was offered an 8-day gig working with the Tracy/Endicott USFS Park Ranger. I did not try to sway his decision (too much). Since this was a volunteer job with no pay, I figured it would look pretty good on his resume (and his photo collection!)

He got to do quite a bit of kayak paddling. I think they spent 2 days up Tracy Arm and 3 days up Endicott Arm. All the big cruise ships have to go up Tracy, while the smaller boats have Endicott to themselves.



Camping up near Hawes Glacier





Glacier Pix. The face on this glacier was 300 feet high. Said they had some spetacular calving action. While they weren't in the kayaks, there were several 8-10 calving waves. One washed away some stuff they had drug up the shoreline.





A cool goat skull they found. In addition, they found a rememberance monument left to a goat guide who died in the area.



A 3 foot squid they found washed up. Must have had a taste for shrimp, I suppose
