Jasper field and jprax - thank you for the kind words.
George - I'll see you soon, if not, Lord willing, next summer
Folks
After a great stay at the Swan Lake Cabin, Mark and I went on a Misty Fiords tour. We visited 5 cabins and flew past "The Wall" (a massive wall of granite like Half Dome in Yosemite), flew into and around "Punchbowl" Lake, Big Goat Lake and waterfalls, then into Wilson Lake. Unfortunately I had a GoPro flop so I missed a lot of great video opportunity. Mark got some of it but it will take more time to download and edit so that will have to be a future project.
View from the Winstanly Cabin. We did not stay here, no one was using it so we stopped in, looked at it, took pictures and left. We visited several cabins in this fashion. It was fun.
View from the other direction
This is the view from the boat at the last cabin we stayed at on this adventure. The Humpback Lake Cabin. It is Southeast of Ketchikan and about as far South as you can get and still be in Alaska. We had our best fishing here. We each caught about 20 Cutthroat in about an hour. Lots of fun.
The last "Shore Lunch" of the trip. Sigh......sure going to miss that.......
Last campfire of the trip. Sigh......sure going to miss that too......
Yesterday we left Alaska (sure going to miss Alaska - already do ) and flew down the Coast, customs in Prince Rupert, fuel in Bella Bella, then up the river to Bella Coola (shown here) and into Nimpo Lake.
Our Cabin at Stewarts Lodge on Nimpo Lake. We had a great visit today with Logan (Nimpo Cub on the site here)

Today we flew over to Turner Lake and went to see the Hunlen Falls, one of the tallest water falls in North America. It was fantastic. No people, no viewing platform, go where you want. Wonderful. I will try to get some video edited on this
It was a long way straight down.
Can't seem to get my video to upload. Will try later.
It is later and I managed to get it uploaded
