**Angie, thanks so much for driving us to a wonderful jet boat experience. Your insight and knowledge of the area was very beneficial. The experience was one of the highlights of the trip. Someday, I would like to go again.

The Haines area was absolutely beautiful, with the mountains, wildlife and rivers. I can see why you would love to live in this area, especially during the summer months.
I did get a chance to look at your blog. You have done a great job with it. The pictures and stories bring the area to life! Keep up the good work! I will continue to check back on the blog from time to time. Perhaps our paths will cross again. Stay in touch!

**Just dropping you a note to let you know that we had a fantastic time in Alaska. As you can see below, we were really lucky to catch pictures of the "natives". Attached are the two pics from the Chilkat River Jet Boat Tour. Can't wait to return!!! Thanks for sharing your beautiful home.

THE FLOODING OF THE CHILKAT!

The Lunch Pavilion

Here's a rapid weather change for you!

On Thursday we were still dressing for cool temperatures. On Saturday we were in shorts and sandals with the temperatures in the mid to upper
80's, and a forecast advising of a flood warning for the Chilkat River by Sunday.
 This picture is on Sunday June 24th at the lunch pavilion where you ate lunch.

With the high water in the gear sheds and lunch pavilion, it leaves us no choice but to close the tours down until the river levels drop. 

On Monday the weather changed back to gray and windy with cooler temperatures "our norm", this should slow down the rapidly melting snow.

When the river finally crested on Tuesday morning it left about 2 feet of water in the gear sheds and the pavilion.

The water quickly dispersed from the lunch pavilion, and with the whole crew on clean up duty we were able to get things up and running in 2 days. Whew!

This cow walked up behind me in my backyard.  I could not believe how close she came to me, and...I didn't see her.  Remember, I talk about always having my dog with me for extra eyes? He didn't see her either!  I was shocked at how quick I was on the porch. 

I put the dog in the house, grabbed my camera and went back out on the porch and took pictures on and off throughout the evening. 
This picture was taken at 9:30 pm after they had bedded down for the evening. They were still there in the morning. This beats TV any night!
