Leaving Gustavus brings a mix of sentiment, in that it serves as a measure of time here in the archipelago of of southeast Alaska, and that the journey is drawing to an end. Yesterday we spent the late morning sipping on tea, mocha, and smoothies at Sunnyside cafe in Gustavus, purusing the community market that sets up Saturdays, and reflecting on what Park Ranger Dan calls the, "tonic of wilderness." From there we caught our 25 minute flight back to Juneau, and as we set for landing, we were able to catch today's hike, Mendenhall Glacier ice trail, from the plane's window. The day wraped up with a round of frisbee golf, in one of the most scenic, challenging courses I've ever played.
