Stopping in Turnagain Arm and watching the Dall sheep on the mountain across the arm...
I remember as a kid watching moose, sometimes fifteen or more, around our house, winters in Homer. My bro sent me an email with small blackies snooping around his pickup. |

Heck stopping on the arm? Did you ever climb the arm? What an experience it is. We would stop round about Beluga Point, cross the highway and climb to our hearts content. When the tide was high we would chase the sheep up higher and higher just to do some whale watching.
The Bird House... it burned, but has been rebuilt. Portage Glacier, oh the times we had there when the parking lot would be covered in ice and the wind would blow our truck around the lot. LOL In 92 or was it 93 when Mt. Spurr erupted. What a PARTY that was! 92 I believe. |

Portage Glacier is so different now... And Beluga Point was really cool! Awww J, glad to see you back here. Maybe we should call this Anyone from AK instead of the WILD...
Oh the memories from my childhood, being on boats from 4:30 am to whenever we caught our limit... no dinner until we got back to camp usually around 8ish... Hee hee, my dad says I have a bad attitude about his boat... LOL Anyway, glad to see you on this thread, indeed you loved and still love Alaska... |

Before my parents left Homer (due to Mom's health ) Mount Augustine popped it's cork. She said Homer, to the east of the volcano, was covered! I don't remember what year that was, but she sent me a sample of the dust in a small ziplock. It was a very fine powder, and today, probably wouldn't make it through the mail.. LOL
And, you, walking around on the arm, the sheep weren't too concerned, and practically picking up "gooey duck" clams down on the flats. I vaguely recall the big quake in '64 that nearly wiped out the southern Kenai. |

Portage Restaurant was the first place I'd ever eaten a French Dip sandwich. Yich, yuch, eeeww nasty!! My Dad took me with him to Anchorage to get parts for our snowmachines, and there was this incredible race machine there. He said if I could lift the front he'd bring it home. I was maybe seven or eight, but I pulled on that thing sooo hard (it didn't budge!)

I quit my paper route right then and there, of course after I delivered the rest of that days papers... LOL
I still never got to see a wild bear... I will be going back soon to see family, anything you want me to bring back? Ha, I can't wait to see it. I miss it more now than ever before! Halibut Cove... fishing, I got to go hunting with my dad one time and it was the best memory I have of him... so far cause he is alive and well, but King Mountain, aww, those were the days. I got married at the look out for Captain Cook downtown Anchorage... Wow. |

The link took my breath away!!
I spent the summer pregnant with Rae camping at Montana Creek. We had a mother grizzly and her two cubs invade our camp. It was the most interesting weekend of my life. The story would take too long to tell right now. May post it tomorrow as I'm getting the kiddos ready for bed. |
