And his assistant

Bit of traffic, at times

**hick** · 13-08-2017, 01:24 PM

Looking back towards Anchorage.

Just W of Stampede Rd., which becomes Stampede Trail.

The place where Chris Mccandless made his last march into the wilderness culminating in a book and movie entitled "Into the Wild."

Goodbye Chris

I'd venture that multitudes of backcountry enthusiasts learned valuable lessons from your lack of preparation.

I spent a lot of time with this sow and cub.

Had a good spot where I didn't have to check my back too often.

This male was relatively near but not close enough to cause too much fuss.

That's about all I got for today.

It was....quite the trip. Lots of ups and downs. Some portions were so hard going I was really grateful that I did NOT bring wifey along. It'd have been that much harder going.

Next trip she will come along and we'll probably break down and join the comfort searchers with an RV, ATV or small trailer and make backcountry hiking/camping more of an option and less of a target.

Hope you're enjoying. I have quite a bit more to share.

Outstanding thread!! What a great trip you had brother!!

**hick** · 13-08-2017, 04:00 PM

Almost forgot a few of the smaller critters:

**hick** · 13-08-2017, 04:02 PM

Ground squirrels weren't too shy.

**hick** · 13-08-2017, 04:03 PM

That's a "hare," not a rabbit. I was corrected more than once.

**SKkin** · 13-08-2017, 05:02 PM

Very nice hick. Thanks for the updates on your plan.

So what have you decided? Going to go for it...or too soon to tell?

**Bower** · 13-08-2017, 05:09 PM

Great stuff, thanks

Thanks for asking, big guy.

Well,...I saw a lot of properties. I'm digesting it all and doing my post research stuffin.

I reckon I confirmed what I knew. I love it up there and want a piece of it.

May throw out a bid or two before the end of the year or save it all up and close on something end 18' or beg. 19.'

Today is Homer

**hick** · 14-08-2017, 08:30 AM

That extension (winding peninsula) is called the "Homer Spit"

*Not my photo

**hick** · 14-08-2017, 08:31 AM

Pretty foggy on arrival (but I brought clear weather everywhere I went)

**hick** · 14-08-2017, 08:32 AM

Home (or accom.?) near Homer beach.
