Yesterday was a late start due to the fact that I got called into work, on one of my days off, to run on shuttle for 2 hours. Daniel rode with me and got really bored (understandably). By the time I was relieved it was too late in the day to comp anything, and the one tour we made it onto we got bumped from again. So we borrowed my friend Nick's scooter (it is slightly scary driving 40 on a 55 mph freeway) and went out to the west glacier trail and hiked out to the glacier and the ice cave. Daniel was psyched - he kept saying how this was easily the coolest place he's ever been. I'm continuing to tease him because he wasn't very excited to come here in the first place (only excited to see me) but now I think he finally understands the draw and the beauty of Alaska.
Today I have to work a full day, but unfortunately it's nothing to get excited about. Hopefully I'll be off early enough to get to climb with Daniel after work! I'll have to work tomorrow and Wednesday as well; maybe they'll be nice with my schedule. Thursday and Friday I will have off as well to hopefully get on a heli with Daniel before he heads home on Saturday. Then it is only a month until I'll go home and head out on my journey with him! Hooray!
Before you know it you'll be living in a yurt in the wilderness!
