Now the fishing starts

Dropped the Portland family off at the airport today; had a great visit and grand baby fix.  Staying at the Teague's tonight then back home tomorrow.


Roasting smores over an open Weber.

The caribou were a bit on the small side

Baby bison were a hit

A tourist insisted that this was a caribou



Stopped off at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center on the way up.  Was better than I expected; there were lots of critters to see.

Now I've got this week to get a bunch of Sockeye in the smoker so the DeJean boys can have plenty frozen up for the trip home.  It is as good an excuse to get fishing as I can come up with right now.

Note to Troy, the seagulls have been asking when you'll be getting here.  Better bring a rain suit.

To everyone else, be kind to your web footed friends.


Enjoy Summer!
