I will catch a fish today!

We we slept in really late this morning till like 10am. Then we got up and made breakfast. We cooked bacon and eggs and they took forever. I couldn't believe it. The stove really was not working all that well. While we were waiting for the food to cook, the permit people for the camp sites came around. We didn't have one. So we had to buy one. It was $27 dollars per person. It kinda stinks but what are you gonna do.

We took off at about noon and went to a special fish spot that bill had lined up. So we were fishing and I caught my fish. I had a hard time pulling it in but it was fun. I took my picture with it and everything. I was pretty excited. So we decided to bring the fish back to the camp and then we set out again. But no one caught a fish after a couple of hours. We decided to head back to camp it was about 4 pm and take a nap. When we woke up, we were determined to catch more fish. I wanted another one to take home. So Dave came with us to bring us luck. We did catch a couple of fish. Dave caught one first and then Laura caught two off of the front of the boat. We pulled up onto one of the banks and Dave cut the fish right there and then. That way we didn't have to cut it back at shore.

On our way back to camp, we decided to get some more firewood. So we started looking for dead trees. We did find one and they were almost going to chop it down but then they realized that it would probably fall in the water and they decided against that. We also saw a bunch of moose as we were boating back to the camp and we got really close to them. I was very excited. I have tons of good pictures.

When we got back to camp we ate dinner. Moose ribs and blackened salmon. They were both excellent. I had the best meals in Dillingham out on that river! Then I roasted marshmallows and went to bed. By the way, marshmallows made my trip. I told Laura that if she wanted to make my trip that she had to bring marshmallows. She did and I enjoyed them greatly.

Oh and we even got to see fireworks because the camp next to us was setting them off. It was great. They were impressive fireworks at that becasue there were so many.

Signing off!
