Jennifer and Bree came up to visit for a few days! It was the best excuse for holding off on my training for the big hike next month and blogging. The weather was great for the first couple of days, then it rained for the rest. We kept putting off the kayaking, until it was apparent that we had passed up that opportunity. So the last day, we went out in the little bay by the camp and Bree and Jennifer got to kayak about for a little bit in the rain. Sitka, rain, kayak. They go hand-in-hand.
I gave Bree my bear bell, so she was in charge of keeping the bears at bay when we hiked. She did a great job, no bear encounters. We had to go to The Fortress of the Bears to see a couple of brown bears. Jennifer took the pictures this trip (about 750 of them!). Here are a few of them:
The next pictures are from the Totem Park area:
The next pictures are from a couple of hikes (Crosstrail and Mosquito Cove):

Jennifer and Bree going out with Larry in his hand built, motorized double kayak. Larry owns a small island here and is building his house on it. Rumor has it that it will have running water. Or maybe not. You never know.

Drag racing a plane taking off from the water. I had him at first, but he just edged me out.
That's all for now my friends. Blogging will be spotty for a few weeks, but will pick up when I head north to Whitehorse, Canada.
Der Frieden to you all!
