As a side note: I grew up as a kid in Portage, Alaska, so this country was my play ground as a kid. some of my best memories of growing up came from this area.

Bear valley and Prince William Sound pics
Bear Valley is the the valley next to Portage glacier, from here it is a 2 1/2 mile trip through a tunnel to Whittier. From Whittier we took the boat out fishing, the second picture is from the boat about 30 miles out of Whittier.

Way past due update

OK I know I am way past due doing an update.
Charlie is doing good, Chemo makes him sick for a few days every time he gets a treatment.
He is not ready to have someone take care of him yet. We have moved back to our trailer in Mount Vernon for a while. We are close enough that if he needs help we can be there soon.
Since I am not working right now we decided it was time to for me to make trip home to Alaska and visit my parents and friends. I arrived in Alaska last Sunday and our friends Mike and Pat picked me up at the airport. I spent until friday with them and had a great visit. Tuesday Mike and I went to Whittier and went out fishing with his son in law. we had a really nice trip. the weather cooperated and was nice. water was good most of the day. Amazingly I even caught a couple of nice silver salmon.
Friday Mike and Pat brought me out to the Valley and my parents house, where we surprised them with my presence. They did not know I was coming up so it was a really good surprise.
Here is a couple of pics of the fishing trip. Owen I wish you could have been there, you would have enjoyed battling a silver salmon.
