Alaska: Day 6

It is, of course, really Day 6 of NaBloPoMo, not of our trip to Alaska. So far, all of the photos are of just the first two days. Time moves slowly in Alaska. 

I can't really show pictures of Katmai without showing pictures of at least one bear, so here's your bear. The salmon runs are all dying out and spawned-out salmon are just hanging around in the water waiting to die. They are easy pickings for the fat, happy September bears. If you want to see what I mean by fat, happy September bears, check out Katmai National Park's Facebook "Fat Bear Week". So fat. So happy.

But let's move on, shall we?

Flying back from Brooks Camp, we got a great view of King Salmon before landing on the Naknek River. I couldn't quite get the "supermarket" in the frame, but otherwise, this is pretty much all of downtown King Salmon. We lived in the large building in the top center of the picture, just to the left of the weather dome. Convenient to the airport and downtown!
