Great adventures!
How wise to stay in a place for awhile and get to know if from so many angles--by boat, bike and foot! The Inn and its meals look heavenly. That plane in the forest was really pause for thought, as I love to take very small planes--from Juneau, I took one that flew low over many glaciers, and in Talkeetna, I took one that flew low between mountain tops up to the summiting base camp on one of Denali's glaciers. Glad you got out safely!

Tired them all
Of course....and your point would be?

Peregrine Falcon
Hi Paul & Sheila, looking forward to reading this blog later but wanted to say how fantastic your photos were of the PF ( I believed you, thought to myself, that doesn't look like any Osprey I have seen but perhaps they are different in US!). Are you going to enter them in the Wanderlust photo comp? If you have not seen it go to their site

It looks so nice and peaceful! That flight in the small plane to reach Gustavus (Strawberry point is a much nicer name than Gustavus!) would have freaked me out, though!

Astounding wildlife shots!
I've so enjoyed following your adventures through some of our wondrous parks. I'm from Santa Barbara, just a little south of San Simeon, so your visits to the elephant seals, Hearst Castle, the beaches and wildlife made me properly homesick! I must say, I've been shocked by the prices charged for the campgrounds and the giant mobile homes you've encountered. I remember crossing the country in my tiny Toyota Corolla, sleeping in my bag on the ground and being astounded at those giants "camping" with their TVs. Also, I hope you know that the majority of American want gun ownership eliminated and many of us work hard toward that end. There's just a rich gun lobby that donates lots of money to politicians' campaigns, so we've not been successful--yet. I love Alaska, so I'm looking forward to your adventures there. Bon voyage!

Mockingbird
Nice one

Magical place!
Thanks for sharing! Great pics too! What a spectacular destination! I was at the Grand Canyon and farther up at Zion: amazing area! Bryce Canyon is on my list. Is August a good time to visit? Must be crazy hot! I like the idea of packing bottles of white wine on a hike ;-)

Bryce
It is amazing isn't it?
