Alaska Man Trip

Back in the spring, the boys in the family decided to plan a "man" trip. They decided to go to Alaska for just over a week.  Months of planning, shopping for fishing gear, going practice fishing and preparing all lead to what seems like a great trip!

The 6 Fisherman- Jarad, Dad, David (bro), Kevin (bro), Uncle Del and Cary (good friend of Dad's).

 After a long, red-eye flight to Anchorage- they slept in the airport for a little while and then went to get the RV that they'd call home for the next week.

 The RV got the once over then they were on the road!

 Some were sleepier than others....David (brother) racked-out.

 Dad was the designated RV driver for the trip.

 Kevin wasted no time getting out in the water to fish.

 Cary's big catch.

 The prized catch- silver salmon. Jarad brought one home and it was delicious!

 Drive and fish...then drive to another spot and fish some more!

 One day they chartered a boat to take them WAY up the river.  They fished all day as they moved down river and then the boat came back to pick them up.

 Jarad took some beautiful pictures while there. This one of Hope, Alaska.

At the end of their trip- they stopped by the Anchorage Temple to visit.

They all had a great time and plan to do another "man" trip.
