Alasks trip not going to happen

[Kent]

Real bummer Kent! You need to add "... ain't gonna happen this year" to your post. This Corvid bug will hopefully go away and next year will provide a new opportunity to make your trip. I've made my last trip to Alaska due to advanced age and, as wife says, diminishing mental capacity.

I think everybody who as a kid fished for minnows with a willow stick and a string with a bent pin for a hook, or, who hunted sparrows and starlings with a BB gun, should visit Alaska at least once in a lifetime. I've been fortunate enough to take the brown bear, moose, caribou, and black bear along with the King, halibut, and several other fishes. All are distant memories now but still as fresh as if they occurred last week.

You can look at the positive side of it -- you saved some money and there are always lots of Utah Lake cats to catch.

Good luck and I hope your trip is only delayed a year and not lost.

Thanks for your sentiments, but next year I will be back to not going because I figure I can't afford it.
