Glaciers

We got some close up views of some glaciers while in Alaska.  The top picture is Exit Glacier in Kenai Fjord National Park outside of Seward.  Its a bit of a hike to a platform that overlooks the glacier.  The glacier melts and runs into the Resurrection River which runs to Resurrection Bay in Seward and on to the ocean.  The bottom picture is Matanuska Glacier which is along the Glenn Highway northeast of Palmer.  It melts and runs to the Matanuska River which is mostly mud with some rushing water. 

We have left Seward and spent time in Palmer, Glennallen and now Tok.   We will be back in Canada tomorrow.  We have decided to take the Alcan all the way back to Dawson Creek.  We were planning to head south through British Columbia by way of the Cassiar highway but recent reports we've gotten say its bad.  We'll keep trying to get updates because its supposed to be a beautiful drive.  We do all agree that the last 100 miles of the Yukon before you get into Alaska are very bad.  Oh Yeah! we get to go through it again -- hope we get through without damage -- but I'm not feeling very lucky this time.
