Fishing Alaska style

On one of our last days we went to the Harris River again and went on a fun hike.  There was an old gold mine that had pieces of machinery left behind.  Baby Eli is an outdoor baby for sure.  He just loves being snuggled in his front pack checking out everything!
We went on another hike to see remains of an old mine from the 1920's.  I wish we would have taken pictures of the hike. It was pretty funny to watch me climb over and under trees and branches with a baby in my front pack :)


There were 6 trees growing out of this old wavy trunk


The stream bed was covered with salmon


There was a gold mine along the river in the 1920's.  These are the remains when the mining went out. They packed up and moved and left everything behind.
Shane (Bryan's dad) found a fishing lure and some line stuck in a tree.  He pulled it down and tied it to a stick and went fishing!
   
I couldn't stop laughing while he was out there in his boots fishing with a stick like a kid.  He caught 6 salmon!
