Yesterday we took a boat to see glaciers. Today I took a walk to see a glacier. The glacier was called the "Exit Glacier" and it was in the Kenai Fjords National Park. I drove to the ranger station, then took a 3 mile hike through the woods to see the glacier. I ended up at an observation point near the glacier. Several of the trails in the park were closed due to the sighting of a bear and her two cubs. The bad news is that there is a forest fire north of us and the smoke from the fire is being blown out way. It makes it difficult to see and there is a smell of smoke in the air.
Thought I would give a quick driving summary:
- We are 33 days into our trip.
- I've driven 6011 miles
- I've used 528 gallons of diesel fuel
- I've spent $1465.46 on diesel fuel.
- I've added 7.5 gallons of diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) to the truck.
- I've had my oil changed once.
