Alaska is all done for me, for now. I didn't do a very good job at posting thsi summer. Recap: caught lots of fish, counted lots of fish, had a great time. I am now in Portland with my friend Johnny. He and i are headed up to Olympia to see our friend Nick open up for the band Bright Eyes. I heard that my cousin, who i have never met was touring with Bright Eyes in Europe. I wonder if she will be playing with him tomorrow. If so it will be like a little mini reunion. Next week i will be in Sequim with Mom and then Oct. 1 on my way to Eastern Washington to help manage the Coho Salmon stocks in the upper Columbia River.
