Day 4 - 8/25/2018 - Cruising Prince William Sound

Today's Weather:  Mid 50's with clouds and partial sun.  Low 40's near the glaciers.

Today we drove south again along Turnagain Arm to Whittier.  Between Girdwood and the road to Whittier is what's left of Portage.  The community at the end of Turnagain Arm was home to almost 100 residents until the 1964 Good Friday earthquake.  The massive earthquake caused the shoreline to drop between 6 and 12 feet, allowing high tides to flood the town and surrounding area with salt water.  All that remains of the original village are a few structures sinking into the nearby mud flats and scattered stands of dead trees.
