Unfortunately, Adam didn't get a bear, or even see one over the weekend. From what we heard, every other bay was crawling with bears except for the one where Adam was camping. He went with his friend Kary and his brother Steven. Overall the guys had a good time, dispite their misfortune.
This is the small town of Valdez, Alaska
(once again the date wasn't set right on my camera)
Crazy looking star fish with lots of legs. It's such a cool color.
The underside.I guess these little guys eat other starfish.
This over-sized goldfish is called a rock fish.
They were hoping to catch halibut, but...
Notice the eyes popping out. Apparently when you bring these fish up too fast out of the ocean, the pressure causes their eyeballs to pop out. Poor guy died before he got to the surface. Oh well, he was getting eaten anyway!

Another rock fish. This one got to keep his eyes in his head.
Those fins are pretty interesting too...
Another starfish, but a bigger one this time.
Looks like the head of Medusa.
Lots of iceburgs and such. Adam also saw whales, sea lions and jelly fish. Went clam digging and caught shrimp. He said that bald eagles were everywhere and they actually saw an eagle snatch a fish out of the water, about 20 feet from their boat. So cool!

So dang fun, Adam, I am jealous, no really!!! To cool!!!
How does the hunting thing work out there? Is it like AZ where you have to put in and see if you get drawn? Matt wants to go hunting.
Hunting here is so easy. You just buy the tag. There is no lottery. When Adam got his hunting license, they just gave him 3 bear tags. I total cost was less than $50. It's Alaska! They want you to kill things :)
very cool pictures! and so awesome that he saw an eagle get a fish!!! ...carson's really into eagles right now, he'll be jealous
All I can think of is that song. I'm going on a bear hunt, a bear hunt. Looks like you guys are enjoying Alaska. How is your calling? I was lucky enough to be asked to go this year to girls camp with crenna, can you believe that. She will be 12 in September.
ok...dont speak about killing things with such ease would ya! even if it is in alaska... COME ON. gross, gross.. and gross again.

Love the starfish pictures! So cool. It is crazy that things can live in water that cold.
