Summer Adventures

I know this is a bit late in coming but I figured most of my adventures are going to be a bit delayed in the telling due to my work schedule. Had a blast the weekend before heading north. I went dip netting for salmon with my best friend's parents and here are the pictures her mom took along the way. Overall the adventure was awesome, even though the fishing part of it kind of didn't really happen like planned. But the camping part and the great company more than made up for the lack of fish. The first picture is of me at the copper river. It kind of reminded me of the Yukon River in interior Alaska, only faster moving and way more trees. From the parking lot we rode four-wheelers along this trail that used to be a old railroad track out to the dipping holes. Once we were at the dipping hole we climbed down the river bank and set the nets up and waited for the fish to swim in before quickly pulling the nets back in. Like I said earlier, the fishing part was slow, but hanging out down by the river was relaxing. We did end up getting some fish, and on the drive back to Palmer there was this brilliant double rainbow. I have only seen a rainbow like this once before when my family still lived in Interior Alaska. So it was pretty neat. Currently waiting for more pictures form my moose hunt. We got one and I got a lesson in field dressing it. Also very fun, so stay tuned.
