Weather was cloudy and sprinkles her and there. We walked around some and then decided last minute to go ahead and take the boat over to check out Portage Glacier. With the weather iffy we had very few people join us. Turned out to be very enjoyable!

Vicky recently got a Fat Bike so we took advantage of a beautiful day to ride across frozen Portage Lake to the Glacier. Days are 12 hours long and the sun is feeling warm again. The mountains through the valley are perfectly blanked by untouched snow in all directions. The deep blue face of the glacier was vividly apparent as it came into view and highlights the landscape. It has been amazing living around the awesome spectacles Alaska has to offer.

I recently got a new toy as well, the feared and forbidden drone. I love it and have always wanted the perspective that was only achievable by renting a plane for $100+ per hour. It is an amazing tool that completely changes what used to not be achievable. Heres a video I put together of the trip.
