Driving back from Thane we stopped off at a small rock beach to look for salmon and check out some bald eagles. The name of the game with salmon is spawn and die. All of the fish we saw were dead. The bald eagles were lazily picking at some fish carcasses further out on the beach.
SPAWN AND DIE!

And with that we hopped on a plane and returned to Oregon. Yet another great adventure! I know I’ll be back to Alaska in the near future.
Emily and I went on a couple of short hikes on plank trails on the north end of Douglas Island. One has to be careful when walking on plank trails. They get super slippery and dangerous when wet. And when is anything dry in southeast Alaska?
A cute little island that is accessible by foot when the tide is low. These 20 foot swings are incredible!

Looking awesome!
Emily learned how to ski and snowboard at the Eaglecrest Ski Area on Douglas Island. She taught for many years as well. We visited the ski area in the off season just to check the place out. They might not get much snow but the pow is supposed to be pretty epic.
Emily’s parents got married here when the resort first opened.
