    Josh and Pops, you just have the most awesome videos. Your manner of presentation, information, images, places * you take us, are all so terrific.
    Plus, I love the downtime, and seeing the foods you decide on, some representing the area, you're visiting. Noone does it better, IMO.

    Thanks for always pointing out wheelchair accessibility in your journeys. I'm in a wheelchair and appreciate hearing first-hand if a trail would work or not. I'm impressed with how at least a portion of trails is accessible in nearly all parks in the US (better than in Canada where I am)!

    This brought back memories of my cruise to glacier bay a couple of years ago. It is absolutely breathtaking. Pictures do not even begin do it justice. I can’t believe you caught the calving in person and it was a big one. I am very jealous but so happy you got it on video. I did not know star fish and were up that far north in cold water. You saw so many different types of wildlife. Once again jealous 😊. Enjoyed this video so much. Thanks for being there and videoing this amazing part of your trip.

    There is only 1 flight per day on Alaska Airlimes. But Alaska Seaplanes operates a 9 passenger plane that goes 3 times per day. Just checking prices right now...Alaska Airlines Jet service is $119 one way while Alaska Seaplanes is $179 one way. It's a turboprop single engine. But, will actually get you there faster than the Jet. It needs about zero runway to takeoff. Lots of Horsepower. I recommend taking both planes...one each way.

      The bear spray at the store in town (ToshCo) is about ten bucks higher than it is at Sportsman's Warehouse in Juneau if that's helpful. If the lodge sells it, it's a lot more than that lol. The park does lend out bear spray, too, but they're cheap ones (less capacity and spray distance).
