Jenny and her 3 awesome kiddos took me and Lucy out for an adventure to Chiniak yesterday while Brandon was @ work! We did everything from catch and release some Pink Salmon(they're garbage fish up here, lol, but fun to catch!), pick LOTS of yummy salmonberries, go in an old WW2 bunker, watch sea lions eat salmon, and just have an overall wonderful time! Chiniak is the other "end of the road" place on the island that we had never been to before and it was really neat and beautiful! It takes about an hour from our house to hit the literal END of the road(and it's a dirt road at that!) Hopefully you can tell in the video how many salmon are at this one place that we stopped... it was AMAZING and I've never seen anthing like it! There was thousands and thousands of fish just sitting there!!! Wow! Very cool! And aren't these salmonberries beautiful? Jenny has a "secret spot" that she's gone to for years and it was overflowing with these scrumptious berries! I found one that filled up the palm of my hand! So neat! I ended up with nearly 2 gallons full in about an hour( and I would have had a bunch more if I hadn't had the philosophy of 2 in the bucket 1 in the mouth, lol!). We'll be having lots of salmonberry pies and cobblers this winter! Yay for living off of the land! Well, Brandon and I are off to enjoy a lovely walk with our 2 puppies, now that I finally have the boot off of my ankle! Yay! Have an immensly blessed day and remember that you're more than welcome to come and experience this Kodiak adventure for yourselves any time you'd like(although I'd reccomend to plan for a summer visit, as we do not know what the winter has in store for us yet, lol)!!! We love & miss you! ~Cortney, Brandon, Rascal, & Lucy
