I have to give credit where credit is due. My favorite waders/outdoor clothing company, Simms, put the expression “United We Fish” on a t-shirt. Not only is this a catchy phrase, but Simms decided to donate a portion of the sales to the preservation and protection of the Gallatin River near Bozeman, Montana. In …
Boats Are Meant To Float
It seems like this is becoming an annual topic for me: boating mishaps on the Kenai Peninsula. Preventable? Yes. Embrarassing? Yeah, that too. The following mishaps were 100% tide related. I’m human and I admit I make mistakes. Rarely, do I make them twice. For the people up the creek from us, it’s …
Hope
Apparently my previous post was too somber, too morose, a bit of a downer for some. In case you didn’t read it, the topic was about change. Since I gave you change last week, I will give you Hope this week...Hope, Alaska that is! Jane and I had unexpected time on our hands last summer. As you know, tourism was down …
Change
Nothing remains the same. Life flows like a river, it changes, it evolves. It always goes on. Some times change is slow. Other times it’s quick and as subtle as a brick through a window. The sale of Stewart’s Landing this past summer was the latter. It happened fast and the change was immediate. Jeff and MP King, you had …
Happy New Year
I’m sure a year ago, no one included the following on their list of New Year resolutions: Wear a mask. Socially distance six feet. Wash hands frequently. No doubt, 2020 has been a crazy and unprecedented year. Unprecedented, that’s a word I used to like. Not anymore. The word I hope to tire of in 2021, is …
Merry Christmas
Wishing you a joyous holiday season filled with gifts of love, peace, health and happiness that last throughout the year to come. …
Mispronounced Words of 2020
Get ready, America. The national media has started to release annual “Top 5” or “Top 10” lists for 2020. This list caught my eye. It’s the Top Five Mispronounced Words of 2020. According to Babbel, the following made the year end list. Kamala Harris Anthony Fauci Yosemite …
Holiday Idea
Some say gift cards are a lazy Christmas gift. They’re impersonal and not much thought went it to them. The crack management staff at Beaver Creek Cabins & Guide Service begs to differ. Here’s why. 1. You Can Buy A Gift Card From Home. In the year of the pandemic, it’s easy to call, email, or text us at …
Bob Kingsbury
Jane and I were saddened with the news that long time guest and friend, Bob Kingsbury, passed away last week. So many people say that Alaska is on their “bucket list”. It was for Bob too, but his bucket must have had a hole in it because he kept coming back, and back, and back.... September was the month that Bob and …
2020 Hunting Photos Part 2
Attitude is everything. When it comes to hunting and fishing, I surround myself with people who are the “happy to be out” types. The reason is simple. If you start with this mindset, you will ALWAYS be successful. Getting “something” is just a bonus. I’m reminded of my friend, Debbie Dreyer. We’ve logged a lot of days …
