We have been camped at Bill and Glenna Dunlevy's for the last week. They are a couple we met at the gold show when we first arrived in Alaska. The group from the GPAA gold show have been really great to us. We have spent a lot of our time running around with them. The Dunlevy's have some ground near Moose Pass on the Kenai where we stayed. We went fishing 3 days for Red Salmon. With the help of Bill to show us how it was done we filled our little freezer with fish. We ended up with 7 for the 3 days all weighing about 5 or 6 pounds each. MAN DO THEY FIGHT!!!! We had a blast. I caught 4 and Louise caught 3. On the 3rd day Louise stayed at camp while I went with the guys fishing. I saw my first grizzley bear!!! She and her club were walking along the river we were fishing on. Of coarse I didn't have my camera with me. We have been wanting to see a bear since we got here and Louise missed it. One day we went to Colrado Creek to do a little gold panning. We found a little but didn't stay there long. The weather was kind of bad that day. Today, Friday, we left to return to Anchorage to do the laundry before Stacy and Carrie get here on Sunday. We pick them up at 12:30 am!!!!! Then it's off to Denali National park.

Till next time
