"The Hills Are Alive..."

Just like a scene from "The Sound of Music" Kiley and Damon raced up Snake Lake Mountain. It was about an hour up and an hour down. Pretty tough climbing in some spots, at least for jon and me. The kids were loving it! We made it nearly to the top but they were getting tired (or at least we thought they should have been!) The view from where we were was amazing to say the least. We could see the Bristle Bay and the Wood and Nushagak rivers that feed into it on one side and we could see Lake Aleginek on the other side. Kiley and Damon both made Jon and I very nervous with the way they ran around near sheer drop offs. Kiley insisted on climbing to the top of nearly every granate outcropping and Jon had to insists more that she come down. Their highlight of the day was rolling rocks down the side of the mountain and watching them careen into the brush. Damon proclaimed that Alaska was where he wanted to live when he grew up. Jon told him to come back during the winter before packing his bags to move!
