... than 11,000 per month.<br><br>Each moose, then, is responsible for producing about 101,250 nuggets a year.<br><br>Multiplied by the 175,000 moose in Alaska, that means, if stacked end to end a pile 71,258 times as high as Mt. McKinley. Enough for every person in the world to own at least 4.<br><br>So please walk carefully when hiking, and don&#8217;t step on your neighbor&#8217;s four nuggets.

Before I get started on our fishing trip, I forgot to tell you that when we were on the Lu-Lu Belle to see the Columbia Glacier, we were sitting there and a guy came in wearing a jacket with "City of Midlothian", so Les called out "Midlothian, Texas" and the guy stops and answers "yes". He and his wife had lived 4 houses down from us from 2000-2005. As time went on, we found out that there was another lady from Midlothian, Tx also, So on this boat that held 50 ...

... for $3.78/gal. It is very dry here and as we continued on, the wind picked up pretty high and then we could smell smoke. Don't know how far the fire was away, but it just blew in. When we turned toward Valdez, we drove out of the smoke thank goodness. The closer we got to Valdez, the more green and lush it became. It has been raining in Valdez for the last 10 days in a row and the Ogle's, who are the ...

... and fishing. <br> The first time we went, it was low tide and there were lots of eagles in the trees next to the road and in the flats. Spent a long time trying to get good eagle pictures. Met a man photographing eagles who is from Whiskey Creek in Ft. Myers. Lots of people were fishing for pink salmon. Everyone coming back to the parking lot had their limit of six. <br><br><br ...

... on the oil industry, the Prince William Sound fishery, government and tourism." <br>We stopped to check on the salmon situation here and were told they are due just about any time. This event brings thousands to this city, as we saw when we were here in Aug. of 2005. <br>Today, on our ride around to the Pipeline Terminal, we passed by empty campgrounds and plenty of empty parking spaces along the normally crowded ...

... bad. But they are minimal really. We're loving this experience so far and looking into more work like this in the future. ...Speaking of this kind of work in the future, our work on our little ship has secured us great possibilities for other SMALL ships in the future, but if we would like to look into the larger ships we need to impress a different crowd... this crowd just happens to be joining our cruise in Juneau where they will be watching a full run ...

... we jumped out of our tent and cruised down to the fishing port and pier 9 where we found the Seaclusion fishing boat and our captain for the day, Captain Jim. Joining us for the trip would be 2 friendly Alaskans, Bob and Diane and Bob's mum, Alberta... but we all just called her 'mom'. We had such an awesome day... but I have to admit it wasn't looking good when we ventured out of port, or indeed for the first few hours of the trip. Firstly, the entire region ...

... perfect scenery and a number of different animals. The critters we passed along the way included eagles, seals, Steller sea lions, sea otters, humpback whales, Dall porpoise, and many birds. I'm still looking for an orca, however. Maybe the next time. After arriving back at Valdez, we drove around to see if we could find the black bear. Sure enough he was walking along the streams of spawning salmon. Tomorrow we will wander around town some more.

... female gender had made, they definitely wouldn't have NOT been accompanying Rick on any further trips and MAY have been lucky to survive this one in attempting to swim the 35 miles back to land! I kid you not! The fish was reeled in and kept because it was an eatable species, and she went into the cabin complaining about how difficult it was to wind in, she had lowered her fresh baited hook down before retreating to the cabin and no sooner had she got into the cabin another fish ...

Today was just a laid back day. We were going to do at least two hikes but all night and into the morning it decided to rain. Of course since we are next to the ocean, when it rains, it gets very cool. In our full rain gear, we took a walk around 9:00 to the Prince William Sound Community College to see the Maxine and Jessie Whitney Museum. The museum is filled with some collections from all over Alaska. For the outsider like ...
