Last night we celebrated the Fourth of July a little early. Ryan and I went to the fish and game weir where they all celebrate early because they have the fourth off of work. The F&G crew has built a nice little campfire spot on the bluff overlooking the valley. At midnight one of the F&G guys passed out sparklers, and Ryan caught this picture of me spelling out F.R.I. FRI is the Fisheries Research Institute, which was started by UW back in the 50's. They have since changed the name to the Alaska Salmon Program, but here in Chignik everyone knows us as FRI, so our camp has kept the name. The last few days have been spent on boat repair, and afetr lots of headaches we now have 3 of 4 boats in good working order. Its been a bit rainy, so I haven't had the camera out much. The Chinook are starting to run in the river, so hopefully we will catch some soon!

Happy 4th of July!! Kate liked the "big booms" and Will lost his shoes in the dark. Luckily Tony brought the big flashlight and we found them. It is back in the 100's here, so lots of swimming. Can't wait to see some photos of the fish that you catch.
Claire, Tony, WIll and Kate
