Bogs, The Coast & Downtown

It's probably not fair to say I'm an Eco-tourist, but through my travels, and after a couple days in Alaska, I undoubtedly chase a nature based experience.  After yesterday's climb, we spent today at sea level.  The day started in the soft, sinking ground of a peat moss bog just off the coast.  From there we worked towards the coast and the darnedest thing happened.   Seeing an island connected by a small land bridge, called a tombolo, we aimed to cross.  But, literally as we prepared to pass, the tide poured in and sunk the bridge in seconds.  The turning of the tide took me off guard, but was powerful.  With appetites worked up, it was downtown for dinner.

Weather will dictate tomorrow's agenda...
