This episode is part of a series of stories we collected at our live storytelling event last year at the Race to Alaska sendoff party in Port Townsend, Washington. John Muir, in his journal, wrote that one "should never go to Alaska as a young man (or woman)because you will never be satisfied with any other place as long as you live." In this story Larry Layman shares some observations from a kayaking trip in Glacier Bay that lend much truth to Muir's sentiments.

For the next few episodes we’ll be sharing some of the incredible stories that we collected at our live storytelling event last year at the Race to Alaska sendoff party in Port Townsend, Washington. Race to Alaska has been cancelled for 2020 so we’re hoping these stories will keep the intrepid and eccentric spirit of R2AK alive while we eagerly await its return next year. All the stories from this event were centered around the theme of water; this story is about a wild and somewhat harrowing overnight kayaking adventure in Alaska.
