Congratulations, Pinar6ad! It's definitely a great trip and area to aspire to, so hopefully you make it out there! Let me know if you do.

Enjoyed the whole 16 minutes of it. Looked like alot of fun and some great wilderness. I'm just curious, did you see any grizzlys on this trip? I heard they're pretty common to see around there.

[CelebrateBig]

Glad you liked it, Josh! We saw one grizzly: he walked right into our camp. I was getting out of my tent to "water the plants" at twilight, saw him, ducked back into my tent, and accidentally pushed down on my big can of bear pepper spray and blasted it all over my tent and sleeping bag! I dove out of the "cloud" and quickly looked to see the bear left because of all my commotion! :-) On a fishing trip in south Alaska we saw ~50 grizzlies, and in Denali I was head-on charged by a big one.

It was in August. Great time of year to be up above the Arctic Circle since the weather is nice, still plenty of sunlight, and the fishing is great.
