Well TED one of the giants of hallo bay, finally made his first appearance of the year almost a whopping 900lbs in the spring. He came walking along camp and then briskly down the beach. I managed to get a good shot of him looking back with the camera. What a sight!!! They say he is at least 20 years old. There is one other bear in the area that is older but he had a rough fall last year so we will be seeing if he made it through the winter. The circle of life out here. Kinda like me surviving in the wilderness. If I don't make it just feed me to the bears.
It was very cold today 44. THe sun is still out and the birds are still chirping. We were amazed today as from the am till early evening we watched a tree form leaves. How amazing is that.
Lots to do in camp today. We were up at 6 for a frieght flight. Since all of our needs are flown in on a bush plane then brought up the beach and then up a 80 foot hill. Also it's 150 miles aprox. to town.
Fannie the camp cook. Well she never stops but her ankle is a bad sprain. She should be in an aircast and off that thing for a week. But, the owners will be out tomorrow to look at it. She was icing it every few hours. But like most women in alaska you can keep a woman down here unless u cut her legs off.
I enjoyed a 3 hour nap today. Then tonite we did 2 hours of work.
A finale note a man whom own a hunting outdoor lodge 60 miles away just flew in for coffe!! yes just brought his plane over for coffe. His lodge is 8,000 per person a week. with a staff of 17. What an amazing guy. His lodge has been running since 1968 and is a grand place.
Well it is late and I should go to bed. Tomorrow we have 6 guests arriving and the camp cook finally is getting her but out here. so no more dishes for me. Except at nite after popcorn and desert.
till tomorrow...................
