Dave at the North Overlook
Dave G., my coworker for both of our trips to AK for satellite support, poses in front of an impressive backdrop. On our first AK trip, Dave did not bring a serious camera. This time, he had his Nikon D700, and knew how to use it :o)

What a Thrill!
On the last day of our trip I traded in my camera for a fly rod to go out an enjoy the experience of fly fishing. Thanks to some expert instruction from my patient friend I even managed to catch a fish on my 1st time out fly fishing in ~60 years! Amazing! I was able to record the moment on my cell phone before we released the fish back into the water.
