A shout out to 14 Year-Old Lincoln for alerting us to a bear just yards ahead on the trail headed to Alaska’s Kenai River.
As we avoided retreating so as to not suggest to the bear that we were prey, coupled with loud commanding voices, the now evident cinnamon colored Brown Bear vacated the trail and headed to the shore of close by Kenai River.
By the time we reached the same shore the bear had entered the water and initiated a swim to the opposite shore.
In this below video our cinnamon colored Brown Bear continues its swim along the shore line before disappearing into the woods,
The camera then pans upward and outward to reveal the spectacular setting that surrounds our idyllic fishing spot on the majestic Kenai River as seen in this early morning hour when the fog still blankets the ground and the surrounding mountains are illuminated by the morning sun.
First, a shout out to Luke Nichols of “The Outdoor Boys” YouTube channel for his gracious fishing tips as to when and where to fish Alaska.
Following Luke’s advice we had a successful fishing trip on Alaska’s Kenai River and were able to enjoy the spectacular surrounding scenery uninterrupted by others during the early morning hours.
Watch here in this below video as 14 Year-Old Lincoln hauls in an Alaska Red Sockeye Salmon on the Kenai River after having alerted us to a bear on the trail.
Lincoln ended up catching his limit with 6 Salmon for the day.
At today’s 2024 Arctic Thunder Air Show here in Alaska a quintet of United States Air Force flying Thunderbirds perform an amazing reverse as they veer from right to left in midair.
Watch below, as the five Thunderbird pilots perform this amazing feat in unison, while maintaining a 5-dice formation, strains of “America” are heard.
Linked below, watch as these, first vertical climbing - then descending, multiple US Air Force Thunderbird pilots create a heart in the Alaska Sky at today’s 2024 Arctic Thunder Air Show.
The impressive feat is dedicated to express love for Those Who Serve.”

My grandfather's store was nearly the same. But with an ice cream cooler and RC ice cold cooler behind warm morning stove. Wow.

Early days of Costco.
Your eye site should really improve after nibbling on those.
Here are related still photos that finally loaded:
The biggest catch of the day though was when Lincoln caught himself:
Then there was the trophy Stick Fish:
And of course the one that got away:
(Pictured above was the trail where we came across the Cinnamon colored Brown Bear. At my foot is the rock I had slipped on when I fell.)
Above, the spectacular view looking toward the Kenai River.
