My kayak camping trip in Prince William Sound, September 2002

This was taken on September 6th. Me on the left, my ex-boss Perry on the right and Chenega, one of his sled dogs.      He has 30 sled dogs. He ran in the 2002 Iditerod Sled Dog Race, but had to stop because 7 of the females in his team went into premature heat all at the same time. He could not get his team to focus on the race as a result. He intends to run the 2003 Iditerod.

Here are two photos of me in the kayak taken by a tourist. He emailed it to Prince William Sound Kayak Center, who I had worked for all summer. It was taken sometime between the 6th and the 8th. My camera died the day I set out on my adventure, so the Klondike Express delivered a note to my roomate on the 7th, and he bought me another camera, which the Klondike Express delivered on the 8th. The Klondike takes tourists to see 26 glaciers in one day in Prince William Sound, in Alaska. I camped from the 6th to the 8th next to

I don't remember where I was in this photo. The camera does not even come close to doing it justice, there were highlights that the human eye could see, but the camera was too cheap and the film (Fuji) may not have been good enough with color. I used Kodak film in a really cheap camera in 1996 for some sunrise pics, and the colors just blew me away they were so beautiful. Next time, its Kodak film, and hopefully a better camera.

I took this photo on the way to Golden Island. It was getting a little late. I was hoping for a really spectacular sunset which did not quite happen. But it was very beautiful just the same. The date was September 10th.

A seagull in an inlet between Coghill Point and the mouth of Coghill River in a tidal flat. It was hard to get close to them, but sometimes they would fly over me probably trying to figure out what I was doing. They check out boats for food. Fishing boats leave fish stuff in the water from processing that the seagulls will eat. There were some dead fish drifting n the water that had spawned in the river. The seagulls will eat certain parts of those I think, but leave most of the fish.

This is College Fjorde taken from a camp about two miles north of Coghill Point on the 9th or 10th. If you look closely you can see several Glaciers.

The roots of a tree laying on its side on a beach about one mile north of Coghill point. Most likely it washed up there during a storm. It was a little too high to have been put there by a high tide, even a very high one. And from the way it was laying, it could not have grown there. I think the root formation is really interesting.
