The internet access is spotty, but I will try to post from the lodge.  When I get back I will post pictures,....I promise.

We are supposed to fly to the glacier and pan for gold.There is ground there that has never been exposed before. They have been panning there and have found gold. It has been so warm that Dave said the glaciers will be gone by the time I get there. The river is back up because of the melt. I was looking forward to being cool! I guess there will be plenty of that at night. Just can't wait to be back in the woods.

Also planning to fly over volcanoes in the "mosquito". Hope to have great pictures. Mark Bills the lodge owner is a bush pilot with 20 years experience.( thankfully) Dave says the flights alone are unbelievable.We will be flying to Wasilla for supplies.I need to find a bear for my collection.

There is an Alaska report in the Coastal Angler Magazine,Miami edition.

Well, have to finish packing and running some errands today. I think I am ready but every day there is something else I have to do.Got a house sitter/animal feeder to watch the house. No hurricanes in sight...thank you very much.

Hopefully,I will be in touch soon.........
