No prob. I'm reading and learning. Sure enjoyed my most recent trip to your wonderful state!

On my drive up from Washington, I stopped to hike along still-frozen Lake Kluane and came fairly close to blundering right into this bear. We were on a collision course, before I reached my parked Jeep and noticed him.

Have been making trips to Alaska every now and again since 1979. Early on it was backpacking but for the past twenty or so it's been to fly fish the silver salmon run. From that very first trip so long ago, I've wanted to see more of Alaska than just the coast, and I've wanted to hunt there as well. This was a real treat for me! Enjoyed it so much, and glad I took the time to drive up and back for a change.

The Brooks Range/Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is a very special place indeed!

Banter away about the coloration. Darned if I know!
