Alaska Visitor

[Black Diamond]

Wasilla will be home base, then going who knows where. There will be lots of hiking and an airplane tour of a glacier.

Good. Sounds fun. I actually like ketchikan but you wouldn't be looking sunshine there.

I think he likes driving this 400 horse water pump!

That must be his camera on the dash. Grab it and tell him a bear must have ate it and mail me that shit!

[darin]

Rick? I love you.

Hey Rick, WTF man, what's up with that sweet hat that Darin has? You get new ones? His has an American flag on the side too!

I have the red one with white lettering and I think people mistake it for a MAGA hat all the time.

But I put many miles of advertising on there for a cabin no one will ever see. Did have some over time ask me WTF is L5? I tell them heaven and they aren't invited. Hat's been all over NYC and Westchester, all around NJ, a bunch of Connecticut & once to Pennsylvania! She's traveled well and still kicking strong!

Funny thing about that hat he's wearing in those pictures... the noob stood up as we were hauling ass upriver and it flew off his head and the river ate it.

That was the last camo L5 hat, too.

Coffee out the nose! I can totally picture this!

Don't forget this noob lost his a few times, but Sharon caught it both times!! Wore it backwards the rest of the trip.

You guys didn't swing back and grab it, or did it get sucked under somewhere?

Tell him that his camera fell overboard as well, and ship that thing like I told ya!! Damn one I want looks decent and is like $800 for the package with everything. Darin's looks just a little nicer, and a sweet lens on there too! Can't wait to see what nature shots he gets or if lucky enough to see a couple of eagles and maybe be able to zoom in?

How ya guys faring? Gonna go for salmon? Got any other visitors, Sharon I assume? What about Mr. Joe, he still with you?

Hope you guys are having a blast! I warned Darin about the glacier worms too!!

[NightTrain]

Funny you should ask about salmon... here's Darin's first Silver salmon, caught yesterday up at Disappointment:

And followed shortly with his first Dolly Varden :

Nice catches!!

And I'm sure you had fun telling him how I lost mine like a dummy and then tried to kick it on land.

Both caught our first salmon at Disappointment! Not very disappointing at all, unless you're looking for gold in dem there hills anyway.

Did you hit the little place ya took me yet, think you called that one O'Briens creek? And I'm guessing he didn't take my advice and go for a swim while going through the canyon?

Damn I wish I was there.

Should have given him the one with the chin strap.

This man takes his photography quite seriously.. almost needed to take the pickup instead of the Jeep to fit his telephoto lenses inside.

Can't argue with the quality... I may have to invest in a high dollar camera setup.

Here he is doing his thing in Hatcher's Pass a couple hours ago next to Willow Creek by an old Beaver pond.

And one he took of Sharon's Jeep down the road a bit further:

I thought the one of Sharon's car was a professional ad for Jeep.

Maybe should blur license plate #
