Watching the bears was mesmerizing. We saw a grizzly with 2 cubs that were a year and a half old. Then, another mom with triplets. Then a black bear family... a dad, mom, and 2 cubs.
They were next to an uphill stream with sock-eye salmon trying to swim up it. Later, other bears came. They love to swim and play. They look like they are boxing.
There were some fishing boats, too, and the people were catching a lot of salmon.
Our guide was excellent. He took us to different places on the lake to see the bears. He also took us to this waterfall. We took a picnic and had cheese, crackers, reindeer sausage, and Alaskan beers!
At the end of the trip, our plane returned to pick us up. The water looks almost like milk, as it comes from the glacier melt.
The day was just perfect.
The only bad thing is that when we returned to our campground, they told us we had to move to a different site. There had been a mix-up. What a pain. We had planned to go out for dinner, but since we had to hook up and move, we decided to leave us hooked up for the night.
DINNER: I cut up one of the leftover grilled thighs and cooked it with onions, mushrooms, garbanzo beans and pesto. Served it over spaghetti. For a salad, I tossed radishes, bell peppers and a few more garbanzo beans.
