The Alaskan adventure begins tomorrow
This is the first long (over a week) vacation that I have taken since I started working at Microsoft about 2 years ago, and I have to say that it is going to be amazing. I cant wait to escape from work email and spend some time in nature…. although the lodge does have some serious amenities so it isn’t exactly roughing it in the traditional sense. We are staying at the Rapids Camp Lodge and it looks absolutely insane.
I leave tomorrow morning for Anchorage and then connect through to King Salmon where I then hop on a shuttle which takes me to the camp to meet up with my father, brother, and my other “extended family” that is on the trip as well.
Then every day we jump in our own group’s personal floatplane and fly into the Alaskan wilderness to partake in some sort of activities around Alaska. There are some particularly tough daily choices like fishing for all five different types of salmon, deep sea fishing for halibut, fishing for Trout, fly fishing in Bristol Bay, or perhaps not fishing at all and watching the bears fish!
I plan to post daily updates with pictures and stories so stay tuned for more. You can also check out some stories on Trevor Walker’s (another co-conspirator) newly created blog at: http://alaskog.blogspot.com/
Ill be back in civilization on the 31st so until then keep your eyes peeled for the pictures and stories on this blog.
