outhouse, bears and King Salmon

The outhouse is coming along very nicely. We have the walls up, siding on and rafters built. Tomorrow we are heading over to Petersburg Mt so see where we will place the outhouse and to start digging the pooper hole. This weekend was pretty productive. Friday was typical...laundry mat, Oso had his radio show and I went out the road to Beach Comers for dinner with some friends. Saturday Oso and I went driving around out the road and ended up fishing at Blind river rapids. Not a lot of fish but so happens a lot of bears. When we got down to the river a bear was across the river and one was on our side of the river. So we headed down the river away from them to fish. We both did not have our waiters but we got in anyways we were up to our hips and then Oso realized he had his cell phone in his pocket so it was toast. Then a bear was behind us on the side we walked down on so Oso yelled and told him to get and he listened. I think I was more focused on where the bears were at then the fish so we decided to head home. On the way back up to the trail head we saw another bear but with two very cute baby cubs!
Sunday we went to Crystal lake Hatchery to see what its all about because I am keeping it open as a possible job next year. Then we went back to Blind river rapids to fish. We did not see any bears but high tide was only 11.3 so it was still pretty shallow and lots of rocks to get my hook caught on. So in the end I was catching the allusive sea weed and occasional rock, however Oso managed to catch a king salmon on his fly rod which was only a 6 lbs line test. 45 minuets later he landed it and threw it back. It was huge! The salmon come up the river to spawn and then die so this fish had been in the fresh water for a couple days now because it was darker and turning brown, so its not as pretty as it could be. Oso said it was still hard and not slimy yet so you could still probally eat it but not for to much longer. Anyways here are some pics and videos!
