Floated the Kenai River for trout, chartered a halibut/salmon trip out of Homer and took a helicopter tour out of Seward. It went by all too quick. I didn't take enough pics, because I didn't want to miss anything. BTW, the dude with the smoke is Jordan, our float trip guide. I think he and the better half got along good. Which gave me more time to fish! Last edited by trapperkeck; 09/06/22 09:41 PM. "The voice of reason!"

The chopper pilot told him it was the first clear day since July 12 if I recall. Whatever it cost it cost less last year than it did this year and it'll likely cost more next year! Waiting doesn't pay. you can vote your way into socialism, but you will have to shoot your way out.

Waiting doesn't pay. Great way to loook at it .And I will add from my own experience If you have things you want to do or things you truly want; find a way to make it possible .Not only is your financial condition subject to change so is your physical condition subject to change .
