So...apparently I'm golfing now

Yep, you heard it here first folks. Can I just tell you about my first day in Gustavus? Well, it started with a tumultuous pack sesh before I left Tacoma where I lost my watch. Lets just say my Mom and tears were involved. Some might say I was struggling with leaving Tacoma and those people would be correct . I had an amazing visit to Tacoma that reminded me of everything I love about that city and ultimately why I need to mo ve home....but that is Not why I'm blogging, no, I want to tell you about beautiful Gustavus, Alaksa.

I arrived in the afternoon after two flights... Really tired with lots of stuff. It took no time to move into my new digs...the wall tent as all I did was dump my bag out iN the middle of the tent...problem solved. Anywho, I wasn't here two hours before one of the new guides asked me I wanted to go to the driving range. It was sunny and warm and they had beer, so this was a no brainer. I can't remember if I told you about the driving range and golf course last year but its a quintessential Gustavus activity I that its paid by honor system, you borrow shitty clubs and shag your own balls. So yeah we went and I'm thinking, life is bliss. Then, just when I think life can't get any better we go to shag our balls and to my surprise its already strawberry season!!!! So the we grazed for about an hour. It was AMAZING! And the course is beautiful!!! More pics to follow.
