Probably the last trip to Haines Alaska for the season

To Homer, To Home

We have just returned from a couple of great weeks in Alaska.  Fall colours were incredible, weather was good, Stealhead fishing was fair, and there was enough wildlife to keep things interesting.

Lots of bears this week.  More pinks and they were doing better fishing

The bears have been busy on the Chilkoot River even though there are very few Pinks for them to eat

Haven't added to my blog for some time but we just had a great four days in Haines Alaska.  The sun shone down on us,  the eulachon were in and the bay was full of sea lions, humpbacked whales, sea gulls and eagles.

Got several photos that I was happy with, as well as enjoying the great spring weather.
