Dream Journal
There was an ice walkway starting at base of the Spit and ran out into Cook Inlet. I wanted to stop and take pictures of it, but I drove by twice before finally stopping.
When I got out of my truck, I saw that the ice was two feet thick. I walked out onto it a ways and saw that the surface was smooth for the first twenty feet or so, but then had traction carved into it. Fifty feet from shore I turned back, sad that I did not have my camera with me.
I told someone standing on shore that the walkway extended across the bay to Seldovia, and then all the way to Kodiak. I had no idea how it stayed frozen all year long. Then I saw a car drive off of the beach and right onto the water, only the whole bay was covered with a thin sheet of ice. I worried about the car because the ice wasn’t thick enough to support a car. It went around a point and I could hear the ice cracking.
