Mom Nogle & Brian here




All is quiet for a while so I can share a little what we have done since mom and Brian have been here. I put the pictures in exactly backwards. (sorry) We went for a nice drive out to Eagle River, AK. and went on a nature walk, and when we were there this huge bull moose, in the velvet, came out of the bushes. He was pretty. He eventually just went to the stream and started drinking and eating.


Nice picture of the Eagle River Valley with the Vaughn, Tom & Brian.
Once we got home we were just relaxing out on our back deck.



This was a fish ladder where we were watching for the fish to jump and try to make it up the falls. The salmon go back to the place they were hatched to spawn, then they die. It is amazing to me that they travel thousands of miles from their birth place to the ocean and back up stream to spawn.




Tom took them to the floating doc where we can see how drastically the tide changes. It's quit amazing. It was low tide in this picture. Then when we went back today, the area where they were standing was completely covered in water and the bridge was moving a lot. Mom and I did not go out on it this time. To much movement for us. :o)






This was the first night they were here. Tom took them for a nice drive to see the ocean. It was kind of cool, but nice.
