Seward AK & Exit Glacier

3-hour drive to Seward from Anchorage. Seward: the start of the nearly 1000-mile Iditarod Race and the original gateway for transportation to mining camps inland a century ago. Staying at the wonderful U.S. Army recreational hotel http://www.sewardresort.com/. Lance Corporal George is our "sponsor". Charter fishing trip with the Army tomorrow at 5:30am. We come back when everyone has "fished their limit".


Hiking up to Exit Glacier just outside Seward.

Glacier has been receding (not necessarily due to Global Warming). When Hal was born in 1951 (see marker), it was all the way out to here.
