Barbara-
--WISH I WAS THERE WITH YOU!!! I’m sending good bear karma to you for excellent weather and even better bears. May the bears be with you! Is it with Chris Day and Emerald Air? If so, please tell her that she created a monster when she took Mark and me out with her and her husband to see bears several years ago. We’ll never forget that first time being so close to the bear. Can’t get enough of bear viewing now. They should be hitting salmon runs about now. Looking forward to your experiences and photographic memories. Have fun.Barbara Burkhardt replied
We have not yet selected a package but will keep them in mind. We are torn between going to Brooks Falls or doing a close Bear Experience type trip???? Will keep you posted
Holly Werner

Rick & Deb Larson
Oh WOW Barb, what a cool capture … (I would have been dancin’ on cloud nine with this fun photographic viewing opportunity, I envy you this moment). I just read whalegeeks message, we stopped in and spoke to the the desk clerk at Emerald Air (when we were last down in Homer), they are who we are going to use when we go to the Brooks falls area next year. Did you get to do the fly out this past Monday?? Take Care ~ Rick & Deb ~ :)
Patricia Anne ...
WOW how very cool to see! I hope she didn’t get lost from her pod! must have been loads of fun to watch her in action. ;)
Barbara Burkhardt replied
Hi Patricia, thank you. I have been off line for a while but can now catch up. She was amazing to watch. B-)

Hi Barbara ~ Can you please enter this into the Canada Group – if you wish to partake in the BC Challenge …cheers and thanks!
Barbara Burkhardt replied
Sorry Jayne, I messed up. Hopefully the (water) location does not negate the entry as well. Just drop it out if it doesn’t & I promise to do better next time. B-))
