Nash Harbor

We have been here for a few days now and it is pretty cool, literally. I have noticed that it is about 15-20 degrees colder here than in Bethel. You can see your breath for a large portion of the day. The wind doesn’t help either. It reminds me of winter, how we are all dressed up. Every hike we go on we need to wear our hats and gloves, or realize that we should have. There is even still snow here! With all the fog, rain, and cold it is hard to dry our gear. I really hope that it warms up a bit.

Today during our free time Kyle and I walked down to the beach. Having never explored the cliffs that are just around 100 yards from our camp we decided to take a look. When we got there we found that we could, with timing between the waves of course, slowly make our way along the bottom of the cliffs. After shedding a couple of coats and a rest to watch the Sea Gulls dive bombing fish just a few feet away, we made it to the end of the cliffs. We took another rest and started heading back. We came back at the end of the day and found that the low tide had uncovered an entire beach where we had previously been hopping from rock to rock and getting wet. I thought that it was funny that a couple of hours ago we had been clinging to the rock face and hoping not to fall in, and now we were walking on a huge beach. I hope that we can find more fun places to explore. –Doug
