Before the boys and I left camp, we took a day trip with some friends to another bay. We had beautiful sunny weather the two days before hand but on this day it was grey and damp! Oh well, such is Alaska...
We all met up at a friends cabin and took two skiffs up the river at the head of the bay (Zachar Bay). We went at
high tide since it is marsh land. The skiffs were tide up down
stream a bit and then we walked farther up the river to do some fishing. There were signs o
f bear EVERYWHERE! Bear trails, footprints, scat, half eaten fish, etc... Amazingly we saw no bears the whole time we were there. The day was fantastic! I haven't been up a river for a million years so I was totally enjoying the moment. Everyone caught a salmon including the kids. We had a great picnic with cucumbers from the garden, homemade cookies, smoked salmon, and deer sausage. Definitely a day that we will remember for a long time!
