Today group B went fishing for halibut! It was a lot of fun and we felt very successful with an

estimated 200+ pounds of fish caught! The boat with Professor Longwell caught 2 very large

halibut, as well as 2 stingrays and a cod. Some crabs fell out of the mouths of some of the fish

on that boat! The other boat caught lots of halibut and several cod. We also got to see lots of

cool ocean creatures, like whales, porpoises, and sea otters. It was a beautiful sunny day with a

very calm sea in the beginning, but the water got choppy and windy at the end. It was so cool

learning how to work on the boats and catch the fish!

Meanwhile, group A stayed at Bear Paw Adventure and continued sluicing for gold. Naturally,

with a fantastic group of individuals, they found enough gold to become rich! Well.. maybe not

quite that much. They DID find gold though!

After dinner, we celebrated my birthday with some delicious cupcakes. Thank you for the

surprise everyone!

It was a day filled with fun, laughter, and adventure- just like every day!

  We were a group of lumberjacks today! Well kind of.. we traveled back up to the Kenai area and made our way to the western entrance of the Swan Lake canoe  trails. We were split up into two separate groups and we divided and conquered different trails that connect the lakes in this neat trail. Our group traveled through the lakes and trails ending at the trail between Contact and Martin Lake. Each of these trails were cleared to become more easily accessible to those who want to explore the Swan Lake Trail. We couldn’t use power tools since we were located in a Federally owned Wilderness State Park (Kenai National Wildlife Refuge). Some tools we used include loppers, zubats, katanas and a 2 man saw! An image of the map of the Swan Lake Trails are pictured below. Most people hike through the entire trail in a little under a week. They will bring tents and other items that allow them to camp out in different areas throughout.  Jenna and Kennedi

 Last post! Today we woke up at the Sealife Center. We got to say goodbye to all of the animals like the seals and sea lions. From there we stopped to do some last minute souvenir shopping in Seward. Then we went to see Seavey’s Iditarod dogs. This family has been racing in the Iditarod for generations and have won multiple times. One member of the family, Mitch Seavey, holds the record for the fastest time completing the race. We were able to meet the dogs and help them train. The dogs pulled us for about two miles in a cart. The dogs were very excited to be able to run, they were jumping and barking as soon as the handlers pulled out the harnesses. After the ride we were able see the puppies, there was a litter that was three months old and one that was only a month old. The three months old loves to nibble. After we were all done with the puppies we were able to see all the gear that a musher wears during the race, we also learned about how the dogs were taken care of during the rac
