Most of you will not be interested but some will
it is a long slide show and not motorcycle related but we got this awesome chance to go to a fishing lodge in Point Baker AK. It was an amazing experince. No motorcycles sorry but hey we didn't even see a car all week. lots of planes and boats and WHALES too.

Click fast through the show . lots of nonsense..
It was cold about 50-60 f. but the water spray made it lots colder. we wore tons of clothes.
Home cooked meals and amazing staff.

Those couple of shots of of fog on the still lake were just spooky! And sooooo many fillets, looks like 70 odd lbs

Love the appearance of the bear in the last few shots too.

Awesome trip Z! Those pics are sweet! You guys look really happy/good together. That makes me smile!

Is there a way you can provide some more info? Who you planned it with, was it all inclusive, etc, etc? I so want to go to Alaska one day, and I think it would make an awesome summer road trip one year, so I like collecting info and planning these things, that way I'd be ready when I have the time/money, you know?

As you know I am a Realtor. about 5-6 years ago I sold this couple a home and then when they moved for collage a year ago I sold their home. We have become friends. Kurt hurt his knee and had to back out of this years trip so we picked it up the last minute. They gave us their air mileage also. We are pretty grateful.


Her Mom and Dad bought an existing small lodge 6 years ago and rebuilt it to a medium 10 room lodge. Point Baker.

The web site is kind of plain.
all about fishing. You can only get there by boat or lil plane because it is one of the islands south west of Juneau. You can fly in from Petersburg.
No place to ride. Fish fish fish , tool around in a boat and chill out!!
lil store right there but sketchy. 15 buck for a six pack. but it costs them a fortune to bring stuff in.

yes we had fun and didn't even bicker( well maybe once or twice haha

First time I flew on a Sea plane, little smaller than that was about 1989 and it was called 'Turtle Airways'. He had to take off with the door open so he knew when he had left the water, his altimeter didn't work. Scary but fun
