Photos with the New Camera

I was 4 feet away from this bear, he was chowing down on grub.

River in Dyea. Pronounced [Dye-ee]

Iris found along the river in Dyea.

This is when he finally gave me his attention.

Solstice Midnight Ride

As you can see it doesn't get much darker than dusk during the Solstice. This will continue for a few weeks and it will slowing get darker and the daylight will become less and less. I would hate to be here in Winter as there is only about 6 hours of daylight.

More Bear pics

Young bear here, this guy was a little shy.

This big guy on the bottom pic had scaring on his back right side. He didn't pay any attention to us.

Venus Silver Mine

This mine goes back about 200 - 250 yards. It was a steep hike up a lot of shell rock.

Camping @ Dyea

Moon coming up over the mountain peaks. This is about 1 a.m. an hour later the sun began to rise in to the North, we then realized we should probably get some sleep since we all had to work the next morning.

Does anyone recognize this Couch?

So, when I first walked around the house I would be living in this summer I found this couch. No joke, I think this came straight from Vale out of the old place on the farm. It made me feel at home and brought back a flood of great memories of G&G Jacobs' farm.

Trip to Whitehorse

Coming back from Whitehorse we saw 3 bears.This bear almost got his nose in the car.As I was trying to get a close up the other guys in the car were screaming for me to roll the window up. Haha! What a great shot it would've been if they hadn't scared it away.

This one got a little defensive as I got out of the car and proceeded to get a closer picture. Oooh, scary!

Lucky, we made it back apparently we have to watch for rock slides as well as avalanches.
