We got a lot of hiking in at the Russian River, but saw no bears. It probably didn't help that some idiot killed one there a week before we arrived. He had a grizzly tag, but hunting there is not allowed and pretty stupid. It would be the equivalent to hunting in a busy public park. Even the diehard hunters could not believe it happened.
We also took a day trip down to Seward only to find that the National Park was flooded, the town was pretty much asleep after a long tourist season, and the restaurants were charging outrageous prices for a fish dinner. Had better luck on the short road to Whittier. No bears, but a very beautiful area that we will return to in the future.
So we are back in Wasilla trying to figure out the best way back to Oregon. We might go through GNP but the bear reports there haven't been great. We heard that a sow grizzly with four second year cubs has been hanging out near Valdez and so we will probably check that out. Kluane National Park is still an option. Maybe we'll just play it by ear. Might be back in a few weeks or so.
I've started editing pictures and should have some posted soon.
