I discovered when I am really excited I yell yeehaw(like on the rapids leaving upper shoup bay), so that is the title of our amazing weekend in the Prince William Sound. We had a very adventurous crew and started with a 1 am hike up Worthington glacier on our way into Valdez in the pouring rain. It poured rain all night and into the afternoon. Here are Kristen and Ted getting ready to shove off into the windy, wavy sea.
Ben and I just leaving Valdez.
Heading out to Shoup Glacier.
Kristen and Ted paddling in the rain.
The weather gradually improved and as we rounded the bend into Shoup Glacier, Dan was there with his pack raft. He hiked in this crazy steep 11 mile trail that was suppose to be impassable. He also took caz and sky. He beat us to the cabin and blew up his pack raft to come and paddle. Caz is in the boat and sky is swimming next to him.
The view from our cabin, seriously, look at this awesome view!
after settling in at the cabin, we paddled up close to the glacier and drank wine and cheese.
the crew at the Kittewake cabin. Kittewake is a bird and the cabin faces an island of Kittewake's nesting.
the kayak out was blue bird skies, in Valdez no less! here is Audrey and Ann happy to be kayaking in the sunshine.
of course what sea kayak trip is complete without bringing your skis and tele skiing on Thompson Pass. Here is Dan hiking up with Caz and Sky. It was a great weekend to get away!
