Ford’s Terror
On Saturday we made it out to my favorite place of all that we go to. Ford’s Terror is a small inlet off of Endicott Arm that has quite the selection of waterfalls for my viewing pleasure. There’s 4000 foot cliffs lining either side and waterfalls every 1/2 mile or so along the whole length. The best part is that there is a section about a 1/2 mile into it that is really skinny. This is the section that helped in the naming process. Apparently, a man named ford paddled into the inlet, then when he was headed back out the tide had risen making it nearly impossible to get out. I heard a rumor that this happened to the famous John Muir as well. In typical me fashion, I shot a ton of blury pictures and not one was worth posting. Hopefully I’ll get to go back this season.
Things are going well on the boat right now. I’ve been getting quite a bit done, and working
hard to keep things in shape. I think it’s starting to show. Other than the normal piddly things (toilets and heaters, mostly) things are running good!
Just about two more weeks now on my rotation and I’m starting to think more and more about what to do. I’ve been wanting to do this camping road trip with Mia and now I’m thinking that it would be cool to take her to the ocean for a few nights. I know that it’s the wrong direction, but maybe I could work out a nice loop. I’ll have to think about it a bit more.
