Flying Beavers

On our flight back to Juneau in the Alaska Seaplanes Beaver. As a pilot Dan enjoyed the flight to and from the island in the right seat of the Beaver. The float pond at Juneau parallels the main runway. Though not quite visible from this vantage, the Mendenhall Glacier is behind the airport. On the flight back to Juneau we flew along the spine of Admiralty Island and saw several big bears, in the 9' - 10' class up on the high snow-covered ridges. They were just coming out of hibernation.
