Brian went to the Copper River with Carl and Nick for salmon on Monday (leaving late Sunday - they get there at 2 am to stake out their place in line to be taken upriver and dropped off, then sleep in the car as best they can until it's their turn!) They technically were able to take 40 Copper River reds apiece and 1 king salmon apiece but came home with 20 apiece and split 1 king. That's still a lot of fish!

They were home by 9 pm Monday, tired and with a full day of sun in this unseasonably warm early summer. The next morning it was time to package the fillets for freezing (a college student fillets them on site for $1.50 per fish - up from $1.00 last year and still well worth it!) We'll probably take some east with us when we go on Sunday). And if I can find the time, maybe some canning before we go?

Tuesday evening we had old friends visiting, Chris and Dick Reister from Utica, NY. We walked downtown to the Snow Goose for a meal outside on the deck then a leisurely walk back first through the Town Square to see the flowers, then along the Coastal Trail/Chester Creek trail back to our house. It was great to see old friends and good to see them enjoy Alaska. They are headed for Seward tomorrow and then up to Talkeetna. I'm finishing up at work in the next few days and then I might have to think about packing for our trip!
