The Last Frontier


Once again, the Grafs and Markhams headed up to Gustavus Alaska for our annual fishing adventure. This time Klane got to come along! It was his first time visiting Alaska and he loved it. We fished the ocean for halibut, hiked through gorgeous scenery, fished rivers for salmon, saw bears, whales, moose, sea otters, sea lions, seals, dolphins, and other wildlife, stayed at our friend Larry's amazing lodge where he cooked us delicious meals, went on a ride in a 6 person plane over Glacier Bay National Park to see (what else?) glaciers, toured through beautiful Juneau, visited Elfin Cove... and much much more! Every trip to Alaska is always different but always exciting and so much fun. We loved spending time with the Markhams laughing and talking. It is always a party when these two families get together. I also had a lot of fun taking pictures and learned a lot about photography while we were there. Click on the picture above to see more of our adventure.

Great photography, Ang! It looks like you guys had a blast. Seeing those big, disgusting-looking fish is oddly making me crave halibut...
