WEATHER: Sunny, then rain. Highs in 60s
We decided to stay another day with friends Daniel and Minnie in Cooper Landing. We took a hike on a nearby trail, then ate lunch in this cute roadhouse. We had smoked salmon chowder which was delicious, and split a halibut sandwich. All very local.
We watched the salmon fishermen on the rivers. They fly-fish, standing waist deep in the river. They are decked out with Cabela wear, especially fancy waders.
After a drive in back roads to watch for wildlife, we returned to the campground for a nice evening. George and Daniel built a campfire. We had Jiffy Pop popcorn for a snack.....memories from childhood!
DINNER: I thawed the remaining salmon filet and made fish tacos. I had to improvise, as usual. The fish part was just the flaked salmon, an egg, and some panko with cumin and chipotle. I didn't have any cole slaw for the salad part, so mixed green onion and a vegetable like a skinny broccoli that we had bought in a farmers' market. Served it with grilled tortillas. Daniel and Minnie grilled porkchops, and we each sampled other's foods. So nice!
