Bird Creek

Points of Interest

Bird Creek is popular for both fishermen and Grizzly bears, who have become increasingly brave recently as they realize that it's a lot easier to eat fish that the fishermen have caught than it is to fish themselves! When we stopped by for a brief visit we didn't see any Grizzlies, but there was a pretty full rainbow overhead.

Lots of fishermen

There were probably about a dozen fishermen within view from the bridge (by the mouth of the creek)

Alaska Vacation

My family went on a cruise in southeastern Alaska at the end of August. It was more beautiful there than I had imagined! We did all sorts of fun things -- from fly fishing for salmon to kayaking in Sitka to flying over the Alaska Range and Mt. McKinley to admiring a 74 pound cabbage at the state fair. Our trip to Alaska was a true adventure!
