About a Boy

My brother, Eric "Boy," has been in Alaska since June 20th with a Wilderness Alaska class. It is hard to believe that he has been gone a whole month; he'll be coming home on Tuesday, July 22. Although we haven't personally spoken to him, we received a postcard extolling the scenery, the wildlife

sea otters, harbor seals, Bald eagles, Marbled Murrelets, ... continually grace our presence...

and the Alaskan brews (Amber Ales, IPAs, Summer Ales).

A few of his adventures in list form:

• Kayaking and tenting on Prince William Sound
  
• Backpacking and tenting along Caribou Creek
• Child's Glacier
• Mummy Island via skiffs
  
• Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve
• Hiking Root Glacier
  
• Kennecott Mine
• Whale watching on Prince William Sound

We're all anxiously awaiting his safe return and I'll pass along some pictures and more details soon.
