After the tour of Denali we headed to the Knik glacier. This time Tom ( the guy who runs the tour) said Lucy could come.
Gotta protect those sensitive ears.

Taking the water ferry across Kachmack Bay for a hike
Hiking back to meet the boat taxi was a little scary because we came across a couple that had spotted a black bear on the trail. We made lots of noise and didn't see him although he did leave several poops on the trail to let us know he was close!
An old dock on the beach where we waited for the water taxi
Mark is ready for gold pannin'
They didn't hit the mother load, but we had a great time!
