An Amazing Glacier

Last night we camped in a campground overflow lot with amazing views of the Matanuska glacier. Ma, Little Kid and I went on a short hike with great views of the glacier. I found some signs with cool facts about glaciers . Did you know that glaciers  store about 75% of the worlds fresh water? Or that 10% of the earth’s land is covered by glaciers? Or even that in the US, glaciers cover almost 30,000 square miles? Cool facts! This morning we drove a couple of hours to Eagle Creek Campground where we are staying to do errands in Anchorage.

  1. Hi Becca,
    Love your writing and your descriptions are amazing. I almost feel like I am with you.
    But after reading about the rain and evacuations I think I made the right decision to meet you all in (I hope) sunny and warm Sarasota, Fla.
    I am wondering…will you and Jay be changing your names to Little Kid and Big Kid when the trip is over?
    The photos are fabulous; keep writing and sending pictures.
    Love and kisses to all, Granny

  2. You are all seeing and learning such wonderful things! Keep those posts and pictures coming!

  3. Bec, I always look forward to your blog writings. I hope you’re keeping a journal; you could turn it into a book some day! How long do you think that gorgeous glacier would last in Tucson?! 🙂
