Alaska #2

Today’s photo subjects are glaciers, bonfires, and whales.

What’s scout camp without fire? Apparently the original design wasn’t big enough and it was necessary to add one more massive log.

Caleb and the other youth staff were invited to go whale watching on a private boat. They got really close to a pod of about 20 whales. He learned two important things: whale spray really stinks, and when on a boat near a pod of whales, it’s important to make noise by tapping on the boat so that a whale doesn’t try to surface underneath you.

The boys saw the whales bubble netting, but Caleb wasn’t quick enough to catch it on video.

That's how I would like to see Alaska, Shari. Much better than Caleb's accommodations. LOL!
