Vehicles over 25ft or longer are prohibited on this road. Please watch our short video  Road to Dantes View  to see the road.  There were few cars when we arrived at The Dantes View but those people were out exploring around.

Alan caught his first fish

Beautiful Sunset at 1015pm while fishing in Quartz lake. Alan was reeling in his first catch That big smile says it all, his first catch ever. He was the first one who caught a fish. As soon as he has his line down the water, he caught a fish right away. Rainbow Trout Dragonfly heart

Image
Friday evening after work on July 20th, my family and I drove down to Quartz Lake in Big Delta. It's about 86 miles from Fairbanks. We left Fairbanks 9:15pm and arrived in Quartz lake 10:44pm Campground was full except for overnight camping parking area which is fine with me at least I'm closer to the water and got a good view of the lake. Camping cost $15 a night, $10 for boat launch, and $8 for firewood.

Driving home from camping/fishing trip on a hot sunny Sunday at Richardson hwy, it was great to get home with this cool yard. Indeed the trees I planted helped cool the yard. The temp in the interior got into 90s -- hot!

Went to The mouth of Kenai river for depnitting on Friday the 13th and only caught 3 reds salmon. Fish was slow, only few people caught some fish.  Yep here are the 3 fish I caught on Friday the 13th at Kenai River Mouth of Kenai River North Beach during low tide Free hotdogs and bouncy house sponsored by some church ministry in Kenai and people from lower 48. Too bad I didn't remember the name of church organization. Hot choco in rainy cold day was great especially free!
