on the way to bethel.
WHAT A TRIP!
AKWest is quite a place.
definitely the best part is that it's far away from anything.
no, the best part are the crazy, aggressive salmon smashing flies on the surface.
no, the best part are the beautiful rainbows.
no, the best part are the tireless, killer guides.
no, the best part are the other random fishermen each completing their journey to fish mecca.
nope, the best part are the "choker bowski's", hands down.
the approach.
so, i've got quite a few pictures. and for the 5 or 6 of you out there that are hanging on the edge of your couches or cubicles, i will be utilizing a few different methods to show them off. i hope to keep the jabbering to a minimum and let the photos do the talking.
here are a few from the first couple of days or so on the wonderful kanektok and then also some en route to this wonderful place.
check out the first flickr set. click on the slideshow for the easiest viewing.
also, check out the very awesome, cam miller. this guy's the fish pic guru. he spends the week jetting around the river making everybody look like way better fishermen then we really are. the week's end slide show and disc full of sweet pics is a great little bonus that i wasn't expecting. cam speeds around with his million dollar camera tucked into his chest waders. and it's not unusual to see him unloading a giant step ladder onto the gravel bar to get that sweet angle. or to have him dunk his head under the icy water to get a cool look at something swimming.
alright, on to some photos:
officially a long way from home.
