Just bring some Halibut back to the lower 48. We will have the grill hot when you get here. Look forward to hearing more about Alaska soon.

I think I will be able to handle it just fine. Took a day off and rested today. Might be back to fishing tomorrow. Can't believe the weather here. It has been great with very little rain. The locals say its the best weather they have had in years. Had a little rain in the night for the first time in a couple of weeks but turned off clear all day. We will be in Soldotna until Monday and then back to Anchorage for the night and on to Valdez. Hope to do some fishing there also.

HI Henry and Margaret: We loved hearing from you today! Got on the webpage to find your Notes. Looks like you guys are having the time of your lives! Love it. Love the pictures and I can hardly wait till it's our turn!! Only a few more years and we'll be right behind ya! I told Bruce what you said about the steering wheel and we ran out in the garage and sure enough, You were right!!! The steering wheel of the jeep turns easily without the key! Thanks for the info. Now we know how to pull that little "TOAD". Love this site so we'll be watching your travels. Looking forward to seeing you guys on your way back down to the lower 50! Be safe.

Yes, Thanks Henry, you were very helpful and informative about the jeep. May save us lots of trouble in the future. Hey, let us know when you are leaving Alaska so we can clear our schedule while you are here. Very excited to see you guys. I am going to invite the Folks up to visit too.....see if I can get Leon to drive that new car up here. HA Looking forward to some fireside chats.

We are like Susie, Having to much fun to post. We have been in Valdez for the past 4 days and plan on moving on to Copper Center Monday. Hopefully I can find a few pieces of Diamond willow for some walking sticks.
Lots of things to do here in Valdez. Today is the start of Gold Rush Days with a free fish fry tonight. We have been on the Columbia Glacier cruise and made several run out to the fish hatchery to view the fish and the Bears feeding on them. The fish are so thick I believe you could walk on them. Yesterday I went down from the hatchery about 1/4 mile and caught and release fish for a solid hour. I must have caught 25.
We have seen Bears, Killer Whales,Sea lions,Eagles & Otters. Here are a few pics of the Valdez area

Wow Henry, more great pics! You and Margaret look like you are having the time of your life. I can't wait to go, but it's many years away for me before I can take that much time off. But i am keeping notes of where to go and what to see. Hope I have your success when I go fishing there. Thanks for taking the time to post your adventures with all of us.

Thanks too all for your reply's. Gary and Andra came by this morning and we headed for the hatchery and caught some Pink Salmon.I didn't care to much for the color of the fish after cleaning them so I pawned my share off on Gary. They say the are very good smoked or canned.
I hope everyone who comes to Alaska the next few years has the same luck with the weather. Today is the first day that it has rained on us during the trip. We have had a couple of showers at night. Thanks again to everyone for your reply's

Great pictures Henry. I also want to go there as soon as possible. What a beautiful part of USA. Wildlife is what I love to see mainly. And yes, fishing.
