This is the view from Scott and Kim's house. Gorgeous!



Steve keeps the cooking temp even by pre-heating charcoal before placing it beneath the pig.

We took Keegan fishing on the dock down the street from the house. We ended up catching an 18: Dolly Varden.

The camp/cabins.



The main cabin has a big open area, kitchen, and...

Alaska Trip: Day 5



We tried to have an eagle feeding down on the beach, but the eagles were a little too wild and smart to munch on salmon and crab leftovers so close to a gaggle of kids and adults.



Dylan and Jamie await the show.



Steve and Judy at the campfire.



Jane.



Good fire.



Ed and Lisa.
