Lucky guy! Looks like you're catching some fish. Want to hear the full report with pics when you get back. Throw back some cold ones with the Homeroids while you're there.

Next year I'm taking Mrs. Hummer to Alaska for two weeks. Maybe a few days up the Inside Passage, then a drive from Denali to Homer. Also want to fly in to a lodge off the Prince William Sound to band hummingbirds and do some salmon fishing. Can't really do the IP and the interior in 2 wks but she'll have to decide what's important. She hasn't been to AK but I've made two trips there. Once did 2 wks. hiking and canoeing around Katmai and the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes, and 3 1/2 months on the Beemer up the Alaska Highway and all around the state.

Every man should go to Alaska at least once in his life.
