Valdez Alaska

After I left Anchorage, I motored 300+ miles to Valdez, a town of about 4000 people that is known for the terminal of the and FISHING.  My friends from Soldotha, Dwight and Linda came in the next day.  There are 4 other couples due in here on Monday.  We will be staying thru Labor Day fishing for Silver Salmon.
The drive into Valdez is beautiful.  Multiple glaziers and waterfalls.

I'll be here about 3 weeks so, stay tuned...

Back in the Anchor City

I left Soldotna and the Kenai Peninsula yesterday, beginning my slow journey back to St Petersburg.  I' m currently in Anchorage, headed to Valdez in search for Silver Salmon and Halibut.  There hould be plenty of both.
It's 7:00 am here and for the first time in several days, I can see the sun.  I believe this has been the coldest summer I have spent here...usually in the mid 40s in the am, then warming up to the mid to high 50s.  Eat your heart out.  I'm at Ship Creek parking lot, for those of you familiar with Anchorage, just next to the train station.  The creek has Pink and Silver Salmon running in it and it seems a little weird  to be fishing in the  downtown area.  Wish me luck and stay tuned...
