Make your own blog if u feel so neagative about hallo bay or the whatever u want to complain about..............I look forward to my future in alaska...............Sorry if u just didn't have the time to cut it.........................I may have whimperd or was tired....but I did my job and never got voted off the island as I would say................sound's like alot of people have. BUT that is there problem.......................................U go to alaska to have it change your life.................U go with an open mind.............U go with.........................................I am here...............What else could be less perfect..............................................Now I am home in the real world and it's not fun...............I don't like waiting tables anymore.............................................I just want to live in a snow cave or a cabing somewhere and dissapear................is that such a far fetched wish.............not really.

SAFE IN HOMER AK


Beautiful weather for the Flight from Katmai to Homer

The END of my JOURNEY!!!

Well...........it's june 30th. Wow what a journey. It almost didn't happen and got off to a bump start but in the end. I would have not changed a thing. Except stay the whole summer................I want to take the time for all of u whom have read along the way of my journey. It has meant alot that I have the computer here to actually do this out in the middle of nowhere. HALLO BAY is a VERY SPECIAL place. Unless u as a person gets on the plane and u come here. One will never know the amazing trasformation it can have on you and your soul. It's not like a trip to alaska and oooooooooooooh there is a bear on the side of the road or a fox ect. U are in the middle of a HUGE national park. Where everyting comes by plane. Where everyday brings something new. It also gives u time to reflect. That life is toooooooooo short. Also who the hell cares what people think or why did I ever do this. Like john said do this for u. I did and I have made it. I am healthier for being here shapewise that is. And my ZEN so to speak well watch out..........I am so at peace with the world someone better just not be negative. I don't want to be around that. Looks like I will be working one job from now on.................Everyone in their own lifetime has to find that place that can mak u realize that there is more to life than just work and things ect...............I luv glacier national park and the smokies.......and hawaii........and now my ncl cruise ships........But Everyone should be forced to go and do something like this. To wake up the inner u and say helllllllllllllloooooooooooooo are u there. I have lived the dream that a lot of people cannot. Several hundred people appliesd for my job and I have it. I survived..................I have made new friends seen new bears..........and most importantly I have grown for being here. I can never every forget this experince......................I had a great day........and I packed and now without going on and on and on...............................I will wish u all a great day down in the lower 48...............Till I sign in again..............bear ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ's

Okay.....So it was a very busy day in camp....NO NAP early frieght flight at 8 am lots of fuel...........Then symira came back to camp with 2 of her best friends. Well was I in for a treat. They are witter than me. If u all know what I mean. So I went to the meadow on a private tour with them for 4 hours. WOW we basically spent 2 hours in from of a bear john and I saw last year and her year old cub. WO W WOW WOW they were 9.5 feet from me most of the time.   

 We measured. The pictures were amazing!!! I was tooooooooo close ...I filled the memory card in one hour..............Then we came home.............it was a sunny day in the meadow..dinner was allready for us. Then her friends had such fun with chris go figure. They wanted to play a trick on me. I was the GUIDE tonite. For all 3. We could not get to the meadow till I answered all the questions about the plants ect. I was the leader down the beach and thru nancy's trail. With my BEAR FLARE in hand. symari did not pull her's out. I was in charge of the radio. Then I had to finds the bears to see and find a safe place to sit. WOW. rosie was napping with her 2 2.5 year old cubs on the flats since it was soo hot. Then 3 sub adults bears...............whom are 5-6 but live together and play together till it's time to grow up.......came into the area..........WHAT A SHOW!!!! Then I ran out of memory ....And the battery

I had to find wildlife for them.....and take pictures............ and back thru nancys meadow I had to find 2 plant's that only simyra knew where in bloom but not in the flower books....................I FOUND BOTH!!!!!

Tony has been a great fill in boss while fannie was out. We go alot done. There was a bear on the beach today. Nothing exciting. The WOLVES have been in town...they were howling last nite and there were tracks all over camp and on the beach. So watch out all u spring cubs.

TGIF!!! with the bears.

Well it's my last friday here at hallo bay. It does not seem possible. I feel like it is sooooooo strange that I have been here for so long and have not gone crazy. Not even missing my tv remote. I do miss the ICE CREAM........:) SO the weather finally cleared this am. We did have a bit of a scare thought we lost a plaen for 1.5 hours they were stuck in the clouds and had to turn around and go back to homer. SO then the sun came out and it was a wonderful 50 today and sunny.. Ursula and her cub urso we rolling around on the beach. I was greedy I didn't take a picture thinkin they would come farther down the beach. They didn't. Those bears can be be sneaky at times. The camp mgr is back in town for her days off...........till next friday for her leg..The camp cook.........well her daughter whom has been with her. She has been voted off the island. She goes home tomorrow. Me I have SURVIVED.....Hauling drinkable human waste to a hill and dumping it................. Also laughing and smiling when people tell a story and then realizing I wasn't listening at all..Crap I hope they don't ask me to reply. The things u do in a wilderness camp. Tony from the office is here. HE was sorry for the mis communication about me leaving.. . I have been invited back to work all next summer. So we shall see. I might be a guide. I think that would be amazing........Well as of now my last full day of work is sunday. I fly out monday. There are guests leaving monday so I know I can get out. Otherwise it would not be till wed. My replacement.....they were hoping to have me train him. don't know if that will happen........................So I will keep u posted..........I know I thought I would have cracked by now. NO I have not EVEN RUN through camp as the streaker..................wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee................So I will fly up to anchorage and then frive back to homer and do some sight EATING..........and seeing....... Yes chris has to stop for the salmon chowder. All you foodies out there.......IT is AMAZING.......So on a finale note. We had a guest who left today. He spent 1 hour 20 min in the bathroom what the HELL was he doing in there for so long. I think her was trying to hide from his wife. The last place I would want to sit for that long is in the outhouse!!!!!
Till tomorrow....................time for my bear ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ's
