Berg Bay Cabin

Jack and I saw the new Spiderman Saturday night -  Jack's review will tell you everything you need to know but suffice it to say that we both give it two rain-soaked thumbs up.

Berg Bay

Berg Creek Boardwalk

Jack and I borrowed my friend Rod's boat and heading out of the Earl West landing for Berg Bay Sunday afternoon.   The weather was still pretty socked in but the rain decided to take enough of a break to allow us to make it there without a shower.    Berg Bay is one of my favorite spots around Wrangell as you can access it in a small boat or canoe,  it's located on the mainland, and is surrounded by some of the most wild and scenic country on earth.   This morning, however, Jack and I had trouble with the boat's outboard - it refused to idle and stalled repeatedly.    I managed to find a tempo that the engine agreed with and we putted home at a leisurely pace of two or three miles per hour.    It stalled several times en route but the weather was beautiful and it allowed us to take in the scenery at a swimmer's pace. 

In anticipation of this trip, we had loaded the truck with sufficient supplies to make our rounds this morning on the way back to camp.   After unloading all of our gear, we joined two of our friends on a flight over the LeConte glacier field and through the mountain range that contains it.....including a hair raising flight around the Devil's Thumb formation.  It was spectacular.

We've got one more day of work before boarding the ferry Wednesday morning.    I've got a chest freezer that was full of meat from Costco (the legged variety) and will be returning with it full of meat from Wrangell (the finned variety).    We'll be turning in our tools and loading the freezer tomorrow afternoon and will do our final check out early Wednesday.
