It sounds like you had a wonderful time! Now you've got some stories to tell the grandkids. lolapplepowerpc said:Hi,
We're back from our honeymoon in Alaska. We loved it! My biggest regret is we didn't get to fish. That's so cool how it's always daytime; 1am at Wasila and there's still some light out. Mt. McKinley was surreal--that scene cannot be the planet earth. You sure the Denali range didn't land here from Mars or something? Woo woo!
I would looove to go back, get an RV, and go camping further north. We only drove as far north as Talkeetna (then flew over that big martian thing just north of there). And I'd like to go to Barrow and dive into the Arctic, so I can qualify for the REAL polar bear club. We ended up sea kayaking down in Seward, and I got a taste of what it's like to be in the water--courtesy of a stuck rudder and a really big wave!
Hmm sounds good!LightHearted said:
Yes... They sell those at the fair. They're kind of like fancy french fries, served with an interesting ranch dressing. They grow the potatoes somewhere in the Valley.

Someone told us we had 15 minutes to live if we didn't get out. LOL I doubt it--it wasn't THAT cold. It's not like we were kayaking near calving glaciers. Actually I had fun tipping; it was an opportunity to learn self-rescue. And I'm not afraid of the water anymore. Unless there were icebergs floating all around--that would put the fear of God in me.
I talked to my mom and dad earlier this week, and I was drooling on the phone about Peanut Potatoes (because of this conversation ). They told me that there isn't a booth for Peanut Potatoes anymore, and that there hasn't been one for a couple years.~WildRoseCowgirl~ said:Hmm sounds good!
Seward is one of my favorite places in Alaska, but these days, I avoid it like the plague on the 4th. The halibut fishing is great there. My ex-boyfriend's step dad owned a charter on the J dock. We went fishing whenever we had the chance.LivingWitness said:Honestly the fourth doesn't bother me, the way people act on the fourth bothers me
I don't want to even get into the politics of the city ther was a tremendous history of corruption here and I don't know how far that has reached into present day but i do know we still feel the ramifications.

That's a great looking salmon, and your wife is beautiful.Starcrystal said:Here's a spawning King my wife caught all by herself. We let it go so she could lay her eggs, but we ate a King a week all summer.
