UNBELIEVABLE, Icing on the cake bucket list! Stewert, BC & Hyder, Ak. BEARS!

















 The salmon are running, as we know. We went to Hyder, Ak. to Fish Creek observation site, a viewing area to watch the salmon spawning, and wait and wait and wait and HOPE for a bear to come. The salmon began arriving approximately July 15.We were there for a couple of  hours 2 days in a row, and as we started to leave, a bear showed up! Check it out! I had been wanting to see this so much! The whole trip, I have been waiting for this place. The video and bear with the fish in his mouth, oh my gosh, is a crazy 50 minutes of pinch myself viewing! We were on a viewing platform, and there are rangers there with bear spray. They are monitoring everybody and the bear and making sure that we are away from areas that the bear may encroach on.

    Wow. That is so exciting. They didn't seem interested in the people at all. Such gorgeous photos.

 Hi everyone! Hope all is well. In order for you to get a notification that I post something on the blog, I think you have to log in and make an account, which is fairly easy, FYI. We have had an amazing time in Shasta staying at Lake Siskiyou campground for 4 nights. Jennifer and Rob, and Christopher Ferrouge all joined us for this stay. Scott and Penny are here also. The men golfed on the most gorgeous golf course the first day! We’ve had a lot of fun, biking, and beach time and then today we rented a boat and caught five trout! It’s been so beautiful. Shasta dam and the sun dial in Redding are shown below too.  Tomorrow we plan on going to some waterfalls with the family, and then going separate ways and continuing with Penny & Scott. Next stop is Crater Lake! Shasta Dam Sundial in Redding Jennifer & I biking the trail around the lake  Lake Siskyou Penny & Tilly, Oreo & I

Took a ferry across to Top of the World Highway and then Chicken, Alaska! & more! (Dawson City, Tok, Fairbanks)

Chena River, Fairbanks  Hi everyone!    One of our highlights this week was driving the Top of the World highway. It definitely felt like the top of the world! The roads are crazy, rough, and we ended up in the little town of Chicken. They’re downtown was a saloon, Café, and gift shop. We have been in several Cities with tours, talks, and shows. A salmon bake, sternwheeler ship excursion, potluck for July 4, and more. We saw a fox, and Caribou while driving. We arrived in Fairbanks, the other day, to actually stay for four nights, finally! The only thing that is a little bit of a problem here, has been a fire nearby and lots of smoky air. Francois’ has been fishing a few times and caught a few little trout. I think we are having it for dinner tonight. The weather has been in the 80’ the last few days with no rain. We are staying at the Fairbanks/Chena Northpole KOA right now. Congratulations to Alex and Kiana, our nephew who got married yesterday in Idaho! So thrilled!...
