At Brooks Camp there are about 25 park service employees and 25 lodge staff.Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14549711229987762947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5347520750042985682.post-74032194656163432952007-08-12T23:48:00.000-07:002007-08-12T23:48:00.000-07:00Thanks for reading and helping my parents Adriane....Thanks for reading and helping my parents Adriane. I am trying to scheme a way into flying with Alan on his next Aniakchak drop so if I can pull that off I might be stopping through King Salmon. <BR/><BR/>Chris, hilarious as always. A few weeks ago some local fisherman got hammered here and was running through the river chasing bears with a pocketknife and a bottle of Southern Comfort. Which got me on the topic of, "See, this is why my friends from back home couldn't come here..."<BR/><BR/>Also, I dressed up like that dude for our halloween party, so his legacy is living on.Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14549711229987762947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5347520750042985682.post-35093192259383821862007-08-12T22:48:00.000-07:002007-08-12T22:48:00.000-07:00Wow.

It looks awesome!<BR/><BR/>It's fascinating to hear about the place I call home from someone visiting for the first time. Too often I find myself taking the beatuy around here for granted. <BR/><BR/>Keep it up, your humor is very refreshing!<BR/><BR/>AdrianeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5347520750042985682.post-42546383161092310342007-07-28T12:21:00.000-07:002007-07-28T12:21:00.000-07:00So, was it hard to get the job there for the summe...So, was it hard to get the job there for the summer? Have you worked for the Park Service before? How many people work up there in the summers?

If you ever manage to take your hiatus from teaching, and you can get away from the family for a summer, this is the job for you. Volunteer up here for a summer like me, you will not regret it. In any case you (and everybody) should visit this place at least once in your life. There is no way to describe how close I come to bears on a daily basis, you would have to see it to believe it. Its the only place in the world like it.Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14549711229987762947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5347520750042985682.post-44843923718972408542007-07-27T07:28:00.000-07:002007-07-27T07:28:00.000-07:00still enjoying the pictures and commentary--thanks...still enjoying the pictures and commentary--thanks for taking the time to post them. how much longer are you in Alaska? wish I could drop in for a quick visit!<BR/>mackayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5347520750042985682.post-45013375468761668392007-07-24T18:29:00.000-07:002007-07-24T18:29:00.000-07:00Beautiful photos nephew!
