The South End is a pretty place and very, very different from the North End of the island. On the North end there are tall spruce trees and lots of brush. There were practically no trees where we went, and even very little brush. No bushwhacking at all - what a concept for Kodiak! Still, it was very marshy and the ground was often very 'frost heaved' with bumps and holes. So the hiking was a little more tiring than you'd expect given that there is no brush to negotiate.
The South End is also pretty remote and the beaches have not been totally combed over for glass balls. On this trip we found 2 - Mike and Ray found one each and, despite spending the most time looking, I found none. It's not often that you come home from a deer hunting trip with glass balls. In fact, I've only done it once before (
