Erics adventure to Alaska

Here is a beautiful sunrise!

Here is one of our boats leaving to go fishing.

oops flop picture!

If you ever get the chance to read this book...

Its the wonderful story of Eric who was from Sweden

and at the age of 16 with a steerage ticket given from his aunt

started his adventure to America in 1902.

this is a picture of Eric Fribrock with his son Joe

posed in front of there new boat!

Here is a picture of the cannery and it has not changed!

back in the day it was major port in Alaska.

old stickers

look at the size of this Salmon

when I was 8 months pregnant with Cory ,

Phil had to go across with my Dad to our remote lodge

and they ran into rough water and they were going to

try and follow the coast another 15 miles

and someone from the cannery came out by boat

and said you will spend the night.

what an incredible act of kindness, they said it was like stepping

back in time in the general store

all the old display racks full of merchandise just as it was.

from the 20's to 40's!

in the morning they had left for fishing.

but a fresh thermos of coffee

was outside there door with a note!

I love this picture how great in a dress shoveling!

It's an amazing story.

today the cannery is a Lodge,

I believe it is still in the family!
