Watch out for bears!

Eric and I went hiking at the Eagle River Nature center which is 12 miles from our house. The salmon are runnin' and so the bears are out in full force feeding on them. Some of the trails were blocked because of bear activity.

We hiked up to the public use cabin, and saw the food storage container. All food must be placed in bear proof containers, or you can expect an unwanted guest!

Biking along Seward Highway

Eric was in Bethel working, so I decided to pack up my mountain bike and head for the Seward Highway. It was another beautiful day, and 75 degrees. Alaska is a biking bonanza. There are trails everywhere. I took the trail that follows the Seward Highway and overlooks the Turnagain Arm. This shot was so awesome, I even impressed myself. The purple flowers are called fireweed. I biked for a few hours enjoying the sun and scenery. I even got a sunburn!
