Chris is 29! and holding.....

For Chris's 29th birthday, Amy took him to Cooper Landing for a "romantic" fishing weekend. We stayed at Gwin's lodge, a cozy little shit hole next to the Kenai River. We drove down to the Kasilof river for some steelhead fishing. Early May in Alaska is "spring break up", and we hiked through snow to get to the frozen edge of the river. Bald eagles and cloud cover was abundant, but not a steelhead to be had! After all that hard work, it was time for a cabin-cooked meal of fresh Alaskan king crab cake, tiramisu and wine. The next day, we hiked up to the waterfalls at the Russian river. And let's just say, there is nothing like bad renditions of 80's music to keep those hungry spring bears at bay!
