MENDENHALL  glacier
i took the city bus to the tongas natioanl forest and hiked 1 1/2 miles to the visitor center ..to see the glacier ..awesome
but i was alone in the walk ..with the drizzle i was anxious ... it was a quick look and walk back tot he bus stop
not much of juneau  sightseeing ..too wet ... did not go the tram ..soggy ..very hazy day ...
TABACHOY... more caloric intake than  caloric exhaustion ... maybe i get to move more in calgary , canada
i am learning ..but has failed marks in posting pictures .. be patient
do you think the light  bulb will be on in my lifetime?
