Valdez 07 2013 Animals other than Bears

We did find other wild life and not so wild life in and around Valdez’s.     We found sled dogs, pink salmon, sea galls, sea lions and young and older bald eagles.   How could I forget to mention that we even saw a two legged animal fishing for salmon?   

 

Tammy found  a sled dog team behind the garage where they were staying.  It was neat watching how they would get the dogs out of their enclosure and connect them to a 4 wheeler.      

The must hold the dogs front paws off the ground until they get them into the harness.     They are so strong and eager to run that if they are on all 4 paws they will pull you right off your feet.     

And they are off.      

Hello,  how far to Anchorage and the Holiday Inn??

A gate that is to keep the salmon from going into a little stream.  It did not seem to work to well.

 He did not have any luck.  I think he need more practice.
