Phew what a trip! So many adventures and stunning scenery, also rain and sunshine. I have never seen a river miles wide with so many braids, and the 8 foot Alaskan brown bears.... biggest bears I have ever seen! Their paw prints were much bigger than my feet. They were pretty afraid of us and just ran into the woods. They stood up on their hind legs to catch our scent because they don't see well. miles and miles of glaciers, distant thunder of the glaciers calving, icebergs the size of houses. Wow even heard the wolves howl one night and we had a great Northern lights display. I am tired, but those memories will last a life time..... 160 miles on the Tatshenshini and Alsek rivers. -- MZ Sounds absolutely wonderful, Mary. Can't wait for pictures. Welcome back.

Rest. Then post the link to your pictures. We can't wait to see them. <g> ... A miser is had to live with, but makes a fine ancestor. Yay! I'm glad you had such a wonderful adventure, but I'm also glad to know you're home safely.:) Can't wait to hear more, and see the pictures, of course. Kelly C. > Phew what a trip!

I am so glad you had a good time and were not eaten. Rest,,,, rest per chance to dream of new adventures and/or dip into the past. Harv > Phew what a trip!

I have many more. Best viewed as a slide show. Later photos are better. -- MZ http://tinyurl.com/o4wlc Thank you so much Mary - you made my day. The pictures are incredible. We lived in Smithers and travelled those roads and camped around there and lived in Chetwynd near Dawson Creek. Not quite as far up as you were but some of the same scenery. I forgot how incredible it could be. Thanks - how wonderful remicade has been for you! Kelly > Photos: This is a readers digest condensed version. I have many > more. Best viewed as a slide show.

My knee did flare up and another time my ribs flared, but that lasted only a day and prednisone settled it right down. It is gorgeous country. -- MZ >Thank you so much Mary - you made my day.

A friend of mine lives in Smithers, raises sheep and her two sisters now visit her every year at lambing time. They have phenomenal stories and pictures! --- Joan >>Thank you so much Mary - you made my day.

They have a place on the river, and he is an avid fly-fisherman. We love to visit, but it's so expensive to fly and that's really the only way to get there without taking a month off to drive. Kelly C. WElll maybe not a month but it feels like it with RA. It was a beautiful place to live until the winters - I could have done without them. It is 2 day drive from Vancouver Kelly but with RA that sometimes feels forever. For a fly fisherman or sheep farmer Smithers would feel like - well heaven. I personally am glad not to be up there now. Medical stuff is a disaster in a small town that far away - wait lists and cancellations. It is a small world though - wonderful how the internet shows that. Kelly >>>Thank you so much Mary - you made my day.

Winter is 6 months long, which is about 3 months over my limit. They were on the island for a couple of years, living in Merville (which is where we visited them last), but FIL couldn't stand being away from the Bulkley and the seclusion. We may not see them again for a while. Now the exchange rate is so poor that it would be expensive for us to even visit Victoria, which breaks my heart, cause I love it there.:( Kelly C. > Photos: This is a readers digest condensed version.

My husband wants to go to Alaska on the Motorcycle... I don't think I would make it all the way there... But I know it would be beautiful...

We really do have to get to Alaska one year - we won't be as far off the trodden path as you were, but we have to see some of this. SignatureNann remove the Gator cheer to email me Simply the thing I am shall make me live --- William Shakespeare Been busy here and not checked in for a few days and here you are back. John is in San Antonio but I sent him your post. Two weekends ago we drove up to Cloverdale to buy a slightly used kayak. Now there are three boats in our garage. lol Welcome home lady.
