Despite the afore-composed forecast, there has actually been a lot of rain in Haines, Ah well, such is life in "Southeast," as Alaskans call this part of the state. Yesterday Collin went flying right seat in a beautiful Beaver, the latest machine in the Mountain Flying Service fleet. It was a beautiful loop: Haines - Gustavus - Skagway - Haines. Last night, the two of us finally got our grizzly fix: two young bears fishing away under the moonlight at the inlet. There is a fish weir installed, so it's an easy catch for those guys. Wouldn't a photo or two be ideal? I didn't snap any before Collin's fight, and the lighting was too tricky to capture anything valuable with the bears. You'll just have to believe me!

Thanks, it's been fun to do, albeit challenging with v-e-r-y limited internet!
