My previous blog, Floating the Highway to Heaven, suggested a grand adventure ending in glorious style. The float trip began several miles upriver at Cooper Landing. Wilderness habitat and wildlife welcomed our journey through smooth to rapid current ending at a wilderness lake shoreline. Sections of the river were colored red by scores of sockeye salmon nearing a final spawning tribute. Grizzly brown bear were seen along the shore observing the same colorful progression with a salivating interest. Our shore lunch at serene Skilak Lake was a pristine setting for more than food (photo above). My next blog will reveal my encounters with 3 families of brown bear on the same river a week later. - Doug
