Byron Glacier

Joshua Haley fighting her way back to land.

Today at 10:00 we (My aunt, Jacob Haley and I in one car, my brothers, grandparents and mom in another) headed up to Byron Glacier, which is like 1 hour away from where we are staying.

So the car ride there was long, but really pretty. Once we got more into the mountains it became slower. Because you have to drive on this thing alllllllllll the way around, with the ocean right in front of you. Which isn't bad.

The ocean was a really neat color...it was like a slate grey and almost a matte-metallic looking thing to it...idk if that makes any sense but yeah!

So once we arrived we went to the visitors center, trying to wait it out with some kinda educations thing on masks.

Then after presentation we went to the gift area and got........plastic ponchos. *shivers*

So we climbed back into the vehicles and drove up to where the trail was.

The trees were practically plastered to the earth and rain falling sideways, but we hiked. I had my camera under my..plastic poncho...and took a few pictures. (well like 50 but yeah). My grandpa was really nice in waiting for me to finish before moving on.

I didn't get as many as I would have liked because I didn't want to ruin my camera.

Once we got to the actual glacier I walked up the snow and my hat flew off my head!!! THANKFULLY my cousin Haley sprinted across the steep, snowy hill while I let out a scream and tried to make my way over. Oh good times.

We had to exit soon because my grandpa was afraid he'd get sick so yeah.

We were all completely drenched. My legs carried me involuntarily as I walked back. I got to have some of the glacier water, that was fresh out of the water. You just cup your hands and like, drink it. It was really good but petrifingly cold.

We ate lunch at some restaurant thing and yeah.

The ride back went by fast. And then I had to tell my cousin Haley goodbye because she is going to Florida tonight and will arrive at 7 in the morning.

OH YES if you can pray for her that would be good 'cus she is scared about flying all the way down to Florida by herself so umm yes!

OH yeah, and I had the Mabeline Super Stay Liquid Foundation on and it lasted the ENTIRE time. That is what I call, super stay.
