South Point Higgins Beach

Yesterday the weather was beautiful (high 50's and sunny)! After work I sat out on the dock with my ipod for a couple of hours soaking in the sun and watching the scenery. This place never gets old.

Most of us had today off of work since there is only one ship in so a group of us went camping last night at South Point Higgins beach. That beach is absolutely beautiful and has tons of flat space in the woods for tents. We got there early so we could watch the sunset. Pictures can hardly capture its beauty. It was very breezy which made it feel extra cold out. Earlier in the day I had promised Scott I would jump in the ocean if he did first, but luckily it was too cold for him to jump in (my body would have gone into shock with the water being in the 40's). We huddled around the bonfire and Adam held the 'Adam Olympics'. This involved log rolls, leap frog, and wheel barrow contests on the beach. It helped warm us all up! This morning we packed up our gear and went to the red anchor for breakfast (a diner in town).


Sunset at South Point Higgins beach - my favorite picture since I arrived in Alaska!
