Mendenhall Glacier 11/16/08 - sunny

This is Mendenhall in the winter sun. IT WAS A SUPER SUNNY DAY! An iceberg broke off exposing the blue ice. THAT ICE AT THE BOTTOM IS OVER 200 YEARS OLD! It is a very beautiful blue.

There are now salmon back in the streams but the bears have not been seen for about 3 weeks. I was talking to a Ranger. He also drove my old pickup truck, when it was a FS vehicle. My truck was the work truck for Mendenhall.

It was sunny and beautiful in Juneau!!! Mark it on the calendar - rare event here!
