Pictures of Tommy and Tom on an excursion to Davidson Glacier. These picture are where we beached after traveling about 50 miles south from Skagway. From there we took 2 old school busses about a mile (?) through some forested area, to some 31-foot powered kayaks. Pics below are the Davidson Glacier and were taken from the kayak. We subsequently "beached" the kayaks about 300-400 yards from the Glacier, and then walked to within 200-300 feet of the Glacier face.
