We saw 7 moose in the first hour and a half. They are so strange looking. They have these super long skinny legs and these big 'ole bodies and heads. We saw most of them in the area of Eilson Air Force Base so we couldn't take pictures. The zone around the base is a no stopping or picture taking area for security reasons. A little further up the road we saw 2 bull moose fighting over a territory. Deven was able to snap this picture before they ran off into the hills......
You Lookin at Me????
Between Summit Lake and Paxson Lake, we stopped at a rest area. They had a viewing platform that hung over the little stream that ran by. When we went over there to check it out, there were hundreds of salmon in the stream. They were getting ready to spawn and just hanging out. It was amazing to see that in real life. The were turning the beautiful red color. (It's hard to see in this pic but they are there....)
As we headed further south, we ran into rain showers. By the time we got to the fishing spot of choice it was about 11:00. And the bummer was that the rain had blown the river out. It was not fit to fish that day :o( The boys were good sports and just happy to be out of the RV for a bit. We decided we'd try to find an area to fish on our way back home. We found a little gravel road that led to a great fishing stream. The water was clear so out came the fishing gear. They all fly fished and were catching Arctic Graylings.
A little after 2:00, we loaded back into the truck for the 4 hour trip back. We had to get home to the doggies who can go about 12 hours without needing a potty break. The scenery was totally different on the way home. We got to see a glacier......
The middle section is the frozen glacier.It was a fun day. All together we saw 11 moose, about 30 rabbits and a bald eagle. Along with some great scenery and good fishing. Who could ask for more???
