So Long, Alaska

Summer 2014 was a whirlwind of excitement that ended quicker than I could have imagined. Alex and I left the glacier the way it had looked before we were there for the season. We moved 65,000 pounds of stuff off the ice in just a few days and wrapped up in the following days with Linwood, Dalton, and Alison. I was able to take a leisurely flight with Rachel to a new glacier. What did I learn from my summer on a glacier? Do what makes you happy. Try something new and challenging. Get out there and try hard. Get to know someone else’s world. Listen. Ask tons of questions. You don’t have to only “do it while you’re young.” Expectations are a funny thing. Go.
