Portage Glacier

Mom and Dad came to visit the day after we arrived...a little vacation, a little help unpacking, and to attend my Assumption of Command. Their first outing was to Portage Glacier on our way to Seward for the weekend.

Mexican Mickey, Chuck, Lars, and I made it

After 6 days of driving, 6 days on the ferry...we have finally arrived!

Arriving in Whittier

Our final day on the ferry as we are approaching Whittier. I love the picture with the tug and the glacier. At this point, we have about 1 hour until we depart and drive a bit to our new home.

More great views...

Fun photos taken as our ferry maneuvered through a very narrow passage.

More Catch Up...

We departed Juneau around 1130 p.m. and had a chance to see our first gorgeous sunset and whales. Absolutely spectacular! The whale was fun, mainly it hovered near the surface and blew--my one shot to get the baby breaching was blurry.

Someone forgot to spell check this parking lot project.

Oregon - Again

I arrived in Sandy Oregon on Thursday to get ready for a month of field research on the Sandy River. Back in the same camp site as the last two years - kind of feeling like home.
It is in the 90s here, which is really hot compared to the Anchorage weather I left behind.
For the 4th, I'll be with good friends in Estacada Oregon, for the 3rd year in a row. My interns arrive on Monday and we hit the river.
I'll try and post some photos as they come along.
