En-Route
So I work at a mine in Alaska, boat to an island then bus up to the mine. Boat ride and bus ride are about 40min each. Figure 1 1/2 hours each way. Boat leaves 5am and we get home about 6:30pm.
Saw my first and second brown bear of the summer today. Alaska Brown bears are big, this guy stepped over a guardrail on the mine road like nothing, didn't miss a stride. The winter is dark nothing to see so I nap. Summer is a little different. I counted 56 deer and 10 Brown bear on the road one day. Road is about 18 miles long.
Anyone enjoy the wildlife pictorials on the way to work? Also saw whales breaching the other day.
Long day, hard work but the scenery beautiful.... If I get lucky and get a few photos this summer I will post them...
