JULY 12 - FULL CAMPGROUND

Last night camp was full for the first time. Bob got to hang out the "CAMPGROUND FULL" sign!!

Also there was a big sow with 3 little cubs across the river last night. No picture, but hopefully we will get some this summer!

There is a brown bear in town that is making a nuisance of himself. He is tearing things up and getting into garbage cans. They are probably going to have to "deal" with him soon before someone gets hurt.

A lot of these pictures are the same as others that I have posted, just a different day - BUT, they are what Bob sees on a daily basis.

JULY 10 - NEW PICTURES

As of this week there have been 6,500 sockeye salmon over the fish weir. There are a few bears hanging around but there will be more when the pinks come in. The pinks spawn in the river and then die shortly after. This sockeye was baked in the oven with some put in the freezer for when I come up.
