June 16, my last day in Alaska


These pictures were taken on my last day when we were traveling to Anchorage so I could catch a commercial flight home. We got to Anchorage early so we had time to go through the air museum at Lake Hood. Cliff will be flying the plane back in early July with his son Jese.
I will write down our whole story in this blog in the future.
I would like to start by thanking our wives Karen and Ann, who everyone knows, it wouldn't have been possible without their support. It's not possible to thank everyone who helped us right now, but I will when I write the story.
Thank you for following my blog, and hope you stay tuned for the story.

Fishermen along the Kenai River. We never saw any grizzle bears, but if any were spotted then they would blow the horn twice at the ferry landing to warn fishermen.

Cliff with a fish on


On Tuesday morning June 15 we got up at 5am and went down to the Russian River Ferry and ferried across the river and fished red salmon. We had several fish on but never landed one. In the morning crossing the river it looked like a troop carrier with all the fishermen sitting down both sides of the ferry with there fishing pole between there legs. I would've taken a picture but it was misting out.
