Alaska Trip


The trip was an incredible experience, I got to see the real Alaska, the real people and see some remote and beautiful country. If you have never been there I cannot begin to explain how remote King Cove is, you have to take the journey yourself to understand it. Andy and Cherie were so nice and generous and made my stay a lot of fun. They are doing well and the people of King Cove love them. The locals took us on their boats to go hunting, loaned me a four wheeler, offered fishing trips, invited me to their homes and fed us, went to a 40th anniversary party and met most of the town. They are very friendly and generous, its their way of life and Andy and Cherie fit right in. We went non-stop for the whole week and was able to do a lot of different things and see the area. We played all day and into the night and laughed ourselves silly and was so worn out each night we would drop into bed late and get up and do it over again. I would like to go back there probably in the summer when Andy isn't teaching school. It's a rough and wild place, wet and cold but I liked it. I think we are built for it to tell you the truth. Being on the Bering Sea was cool, felt good. It was a great trip.

I am jealous. I am kind of surprised nobody mistook you for a bear walking through town.
