I’m a bit blown away how this has transpired. The group I went to Alaska with 2 years ago invited me again this year. I had to decline at the time(last fall). I said count me in for 2014 though.
Skip forward to late last night. I get an email from the “organizer” asking if I want to go. Saying plane tickets are at an all time low. I decided to run it by the war department again. This time the vote changed.
I’M GOING TO ALASKA!!! I’ll be there June 22nd – 28th. Here is a recap of my last trip.
Here is the deal. We are hosted by a great group of guys who have been hunting on my cousin’s farm for 30 years. They are all retired now and own some awesome boats. We motor about 6 hours from Ketchican and anchor up in a cove. We “live” on the big boats and fish from the little ones the next 5 days. It’s basically the cost of my plane ticket, the tip for gas, fishing license and few incidentals. Otherwise these guys wine and dine us! I’m a bit awe struck as I figured I’d never get to go again but to get to go twice is amazing!!
