Last week my wife, 35 year old son and myself visited my brother-in-law who lives in King Cove, AK. Underneath the line is an email my son sent to his buddies. Under the next line is some more pics from me.

Well, I just got back from a trip to visit my uncle. I know, doesn't sound very exciting, but in this case my uncle lives in Western Alaska. Specifically, a small town called King Cove. The end of the earth, some have called it:

(zoom out a few notches)
I used to commercial fish out there back when I was in college, but this was going to be a trip simply to visit and maybe do some fishing. The trip started out bad, with us arriving at the airport for the town of Cold Bay to find out that the weather ( http://www.wsu.edu/~rgriffin/coldbay.JPG ) was too poor for us to get into King Cove (the only access is by plane or boat). Further, my parents’ luggage had failed to arrive.
The next day was nicer, thoughÂenough visibility to fly and the wind had dropped to about 25 mph. We got into King Cove and prepared to spend time in bear country. This is my uncle’s front door: http://www.wsu.edu/~rgriffin/bearhouse.JPG . Yes, that is a door frame damaged by a bear. We tested a new addition to our “bear defenseâ€
