Slammed

Do you know where everybody goes when you close the Kenai River for King Salmon fishing, and make the Anchor River catch and release only? Good guess, Deep Creek! We got slammed just like Memorial Day weekend, this time we handled it without any extra troopers, rangers, fire patrol, or other authority figures. The four of us did fine of course, and folks were on their very best behavior. Oh, yeah - the fishing sucked.

It has been a series of extra low 'clamming tides' and some very high tides too. We're perched about five feet beyond the reach of we think is the highest tide - we'll see tomorrow morning when we get a + 21.3 tide right at sunrise.

And you thought I was kidding about the tide line. A view from our 'dining room' window.

    Yikes! It must have been WILD!!! So glad we were there mid-week. Now that it's Monday morning, we hope they've all left too. Will it be crazy like this all summer, every weekend?
    Raining and 42 in Whitehorse this morning. We didn't get to kayak at Kluane Lake and were hoing to try again at Lake Teslin later today, but not encouraging. We're still enjoying the scenery and wildlife. One baby grizzly feeding on the side of the highway yesterday. Didn't see Mama, but know she had to be nearby.
    Take care, Cathryn

    1) Campsites "slightly" larger than FBRV!
    2) Love the summer fashion...wish we were there...shorts, t-shirts, and sandals are too hot here!
    3) 21.3+???? hope it doesn't float your coach!
