fish tales

Laura and Me

Laura and I became really good buddies -- from the first time we emailed til the last day at camp together, we were close. At the beginning of the summer, we made a deal to take a photo together every day over the course of the summer to see how we'd changed, but that goal kind of flopped .... Here are the photos we did take.

Heading to Togiak will all our gear.

Laura slept in my tent our first night due to cat issues....

First official day at camp -- standing on the tundra to seem tall.

After long day putting in the weir and fighting off mosquitoes.

So sunny -- sitting by the boats.

Manning the gillnet -- waiting for the fish.

 At the top of Exercise Hill with Dan. We went hiking!

 Such a hot day -- everyone was stripping down.

Out on the tundra -- think about mom -- missing liz
I loved being out in Togiak, but there were days when I really missed mom, Coco, Liz and Amanda. I think the hardest thing was not being able to share my adventures with mom. She would have been ecstatic knowing I was in Alaska all summer -- I got my adventurousness from her. There wasn't a day I didn't think of her.


fought with dan about doing dishes
Dan and I always fought over doing the dishes...Who knows why, but it was a great way to clean our hands, which were grimy from working with fish and doing tasks around camp.
