But it only rained during Joan Jett's set!!!!

Well I'm back. It was pretty awesome. Saw some whales, some moose, a bear, otters, seals, and other wildlife.

 

[DocZaius]

I have literally over 1000 pictures, so here's a few I thought people might like. I'll start with a short video of Thunderbird Falls, not too far outside Anchorage.

Did you try any panning?

 

[DocZaius]

Did you try any panning?

Of course. My son is the only one in our family who found any gold. We all got a few flakes from the pre-loaded bags of dirt they gave us when they taught us how to pan, but he got a couple flakes near the stream.
