and now a word from some of the boys...






















Today in halibut fishing, we fished in the cook inlet. We ended up getting our limit for the day with a total of 14 halibut. The biggest fish that we caught in the day was 40 pounds and had to get beat with a club to stop flopping. We had almost no luck early in the day, but as the tides shifted, and we found a new spot, we got our limit really quick. After we were done for the day, our guide got the meat prepared and we ate it for our supper.------Aaron

A group of 3 boys (Cody, Alex, & Kevin) and 1 adult (Steve) went salmon fishing. While driving to the boat we saw 2 moose. Finally we started fishing. We caught a couple of dollys (small fish/trout). Finally I got a strike from a King salmon. It took a good 7 minutes to get it to the boat. But as we tried to net it the hook came undone. It got away and that was the only salmon bite we had all day. The guide said it was about 25 pounds…a good fish. So concluded the first salmon fishing day.-----Kevin

We drove towards KCI at an average rate of 65 MPH. The trees of Kansas that we would soon miss were rushing past us. We drove into a fast food restaurant they called “McDonalds”. “Ehh, I’ll take a #2 with just cheese and catsup”, said a boy named Alex. We gulped our drinks and scarved down our food, for this would be the last Kansas food we would have.
Later on, we arrived at our plane. It was a CRJ9000, Super Small. I sat down next to Bradley and across from Steve. We landed at the great city of Salt Lake City, Utah. We ate at the BL Lounge. Then we ran to our Anchorage flight like a speeding bullet. The plane boarded when we got there. We set our weary feet upon the aeroplane. Our eyes flurried with the sight of a gigantor flying dragon amongst our midst. BZ7-2570. It had an LED flatscreen TV on every chair. We watched Dear John, Hurt Locker, and Legion. We played Galagor, Poker, and Legion. It was fun.-----Alex

Today Me, my dad, and Mr. Knott were the only people not fishing. We decided to go and drive around look for a moose. We looked around and saw 3 moose. We then went to the town of Kenai and visited the flea market. There were many vendors and we looked at a lot of them. The one I liked the most was a fur vendor and they had all types of hats and things but the best thing was a black and white fur and tube like thing. It was about the size of a small pillow and it was the best thing ever. Later that day we walked along a rocky beach on the Cook’s Inlet and we found some really cool rocks. After all the driving around we sat along the side of a river and waited for the salmon fishermen and then went back to the cabin.----Devan
