I'm going to go down to backpack on the Kenai Peninsula next month. Can you imagine sitting on a cliff overlooking the ocean playing this song? I'm learning it now. It's fairly simple so is easy.

FAIRBANKS - A Fairbanks man was fatally attacked by a bear Thursday evening at George Lake near Delta Junction, according to Alaska State Troopers.
Troopers identified the victim as Robert Weaver, 64.
Troopers said they received a report of a bear mauling at about 6:45 p.m. The report indicated that one person was on the ground outside a cabin and that second person was seeking shelter inside the cabin and calling for help.
A trooper helicopter from Fairbanks, a Blackhawk helicopter from Eielson Air Force Base and a trooper in an airboat responded to the scene.
Eielson personnel found a person inside a cabin shortly after 9 p.m. and found Weaver’s body outside the cabin.
Troopers searched the area but no bear was located.
A black bear wandered on the scene, however, during the investigation and was killed by the trooper.
It is not known if the bear is the animal that killed Weaver.
The Department of Fish and Game has been notified of the attack and the death.

Best excuse ever for being late to work: there's a bear on the front porch, eating a neighbor's chicken! Thanks to Sue Bahleda for the incredible image!

I leave tomorrow for my annual Fowl Adventure but this year will be sans kids. They are currently with my sister in Ft. Worth. First I drive 6 hours to Chicken, AK for Chickenstock. It is a fun music festival in the middle of nowhere. Then I drive from there 3 hours to cover the next 100 miles to Eagle, AK where I park by the river. My friends come pick me up in their boat and we go 7 miles up river, park the boat and take the ATVs a few more miles up a trail to their house. This is true off the grid living, in the middle of no where and I love it. Here are a few pictures of previous trips from my blog.

Here's the Taylor Highway. Yes, it can be a single lane and still be a highway in Alaska. This is why it takes 3 hours to go 100 miles. It also shows the river and the trail to their cabin. If you are watching Life Below Zero, my friends are Kate and Andy's nearest neighbors.

That's awesome. What a huge chicken, too. Do you have a burning chicken at the end of the festivities?

I'm back from the first trip of the summer. Awesome is all I can say about it. Two flats and a truck full of dust now (that last 100 miles is brutal). But it was worth it. Will post a trip report on blog later. Right now I am just recovering.

You go, girl!
Lovely, pics...I can just transport myself in #112.
That's the sweetest spot on Earth. Up on a cliff so you get the breeze and the sound of the wind through the leaves, right below is a fast moving creek so you get the sound of that too. It's an awesome place.

Sounds like fun. I know we don't have to tell you to take lots of pictures.
Wish I was there! I really need to be there.
I also wish Sourdough was there. I think it would recalibrate his POV and get him to take in the immediate and beautiful world we live in...here and now.
Forgive me all for stepping out of line and not minding my own bidness...I just felt I had to say it.
Yea, but would he be open to that? I don't know. Sourdough want to chime in here on this?
