Eric's Alaska Trip - Part 2






Eric e-mailed and said yesterday's fishing was slow but a lot of fun. (Slow compared to the day before when the limit was caught in 3 1/2 hours!) But they still caught some King Salmon and chased bears away from the fishing hole so they could catch. Fun! Crazy! Don't worry Dad had a gun, doesn't that make you feel better? (Side note: Before they left I specifically told my Dad that Eric has a fascination and draw to bears, so don't let him get eaten. His advice was, "Make sure he can run faster than the last guy. You know they only take one." Great advice Dad! Thanks for carrying a gun and looking out for my husband.) The picture of the bear running up the hill set me more at ease, even though bears can run up to 60 mph so I am sure he was a lot closer before Eric could take the picture. I know Eric's in "Bear Heaven." He took a picture of the bear paw in the sand to show where he was before it ran up the hill. They also saw sea lions and got a great shot of the scenery. What a great trip. More to come...
