Prince William Sound - College Fjord

We went camping with the Rice's in the Prince William Sound. We had eight little kids (two of them were small babies!) in the wilderness, with no communcation or transportation. We were either the bravest, most adventurous people, or the stupidest! In all fairness, we could have probably tried to wave down a ship. All in all we had a great time with some fun memories.
There was a seagull nest next to the latrine. I never knew seagulls could be so violent! Craig, Cali, and Robin all got pooped on. The kids all got dive bombed over and over. We finally learned to put a stick in the air, and then they would dive bomb the stick (the highest point) instead of us.
A little game of baseball on the fourth of July.


Our lefty makes the pitch!



Two sunburned, worn out kids.

Just ahead to the right is the mouth of the Coghill river where my dad went fishing and stopped counting after catching over 82 salmon.




Bear in camp!! Quick feed him some bacon!

  1. Okay, so you didn't have communication or transportation, but I sure hope you had a gun!! For the wild things like bears and seagulls pooping and swooping.
