We got a late start today, as we were paying bills and that took a lot of time. When we did get going we drove back up the road to Thompson Pass and did some hiking with the dogs. Hiked around a place called Blueberry Lake, and had a ball. Saw beautiful flowers and scenery! When we drove in to Valdez we didn't stop to look at much, so this was our chance. In Keystone Canyon there were some great waterfalls--Bridal Veil and Horse Tail Falls. Went into see Valdez glacier and the old town site of Valdez. The earthquake of 1964 required that Valdez relocate 4 miles away to its present site.
We had gotten reports that a sow grizzly and 3 cubs had been coming out to fish where we had been fishing. We had gone out twice to look but saw only bald eagles (lots of eagles). We got another report that she came out later, so I went out by myself as Kathy didn't want to go then. I left at 21:15 and sat out there until 23:00. I was just about to leave when two cubs came out of the woods follow by mom and the last cub. This is my first
griz and was it great. I did not stay too long as the people were really being stupid and getting too close to them. It was too dark to get any pics, but what fun!
