Hi, We spent to night in a great primitive campground, Plenty of room. We both camped on the same lot.
The river was in back of us. It was a good walk on the walkway and the stairs getting back were great exercise. The boys went fishing yesterday and Al got a rainbow trout and Don through his back.
Rained all night. Nice sleeping with the sound of rain on the roof.
This morning we decided to go for a walk as far as the walkway would take us, about 1 1/2 miles. The end the Russian River meets the Kenai River ( Beautiful , clear water meeting up with turquoise water). The color is from the glacier runoff.
The salmon are starting to get up to this area. A Lot of fisherman are at this point. On the way back, we talked with a volunteer and he gave the boys some advice , where to go to get rainbow and about a water fall , we should hike to.
As we were walking back some fishermen, in the river, told us a bear was just ahead in the river. Lots of bear in the area. Some people carry guns, rifles and bear spray.
As we turned the bend, I saw this big brown fluffy bear walking toward us. Those behind me said "Bear" and we turned and walked very fast back. When we got to the fisherman , the bear had gotten back in the water and he was hunting for fish. It was fun watching him. Becky got some great pictures. I will get them and post them. It probably won't happen for a while unless we stay here another day.
Don said He wanted to sacrifice me to the bear. I don't think the bear would like me.
We come up to the lodge to do our wireless, nothing available at the campground.
Not sure if we will move on to Anchorage tomorrow or go back a few mile dto do the hike up the falls. Weather will help us decide.
Hugs to all, until I get on again. A & R
