Franz Josef
11/3/07 - 13/3/07
A slow start to the morning after Barrytown meant the bus was pretty sluggish as we headed to Franz Josef.

(Funny sign if you're not a biker)
On the way down, we stopped at a little festival. For this competition, you payed 3 dollars, and if you reached the top of the ladder, you got $100. Needless to say, I was pretty confident I could make it. As my dad says, "A sucker is born every minute". Couldn't even get off the first rung. The guy running it made it look so easy.

For the most part, I took it pretty easy in Franz Josef, as I had already been through, and had done the glacier hike. I was planning on doing some more hiking, but all the rain kept me inside.
