Alaskan Arrival

SF to Anchorage flight was this evening, now I am in hotel in midtown Anchorage, preparing for my great bear adventure.  Tomorrow I fly on two more planes:  Anchorage -> King Salmon, and King Salmon -> Brooks Camp (float plane) to reach Katmai National Park out on the Alaskan Peninsula.  All in pursuit of the massive coastal brown bears that live there… I will camp in the NPS campground there and maximize my time seeking out the bears.

I have cleaned my sensors and lenses, formatted 400GB worth of memory cards, charged 11 camera batteries, and re-activated 5 Pelican desiccants (this Peninsula is wet).  Lets puts this 500mm to work.

Check out the following link from time to time, you will see some bears, maybe you will see me.  This camera pans quite a lot, but there is a gated bridge that I will be crossing when it opens each day at 07:00 Alaska time.

  1. Sounds like an awesome trip. I look forward to the pics. Don’t get eaten! (This is Kenny S.)

  2. If you find any beer from Kassik’s brewery (near Kenai) you have to try it! It was my favorite!
