Exit Glacier received its name after it was used by the first expedition to cross the Harding Ice Field from Chernof Glacier near Homer to a glacier near Seward. The expedition took eight days in 1968. Braided rivers are formed by glaciers due to sediment deposits from the glacial run-off.
The ubiquitous fireweed is in the foreground.

The dogs and I got home this afternoon about 1:00 pm. I took this photo a few minutes later. Although it is interesting to sit on your porch and watch the helicopters drop water on the hot spots, I could have lived without the experience.
The car stays packed and the horses are at D’s until we get the all clear. This morning I learned that the truck’s crankiness was caused by mice nesting near the air filter. With a new air filter, new fuel filter, and oil change the old workhorse is almost feeling peppy.
