We spent some time at Clam Lagoon, seems like ever time we drove by we saw some different animal in it. Sometimes it was birds. Sometimes it was the seals. Sometimes it was the otters… sometimes I’m pretty sure they thought it was us.

After patroling the old roads on our cloudy and drizzling day 3, we decided to take a drive out to the back side of Mt. Moffett and go for a short hike to the shores of the open Bering Sea. While the view was not as “amazing” as the one from the top of Mt. Moffett, it was my favorite of the week. The birds. The crystal clear sea water. The cliffs. The long wind blown and grass covered mountain sides. All of it was beautiful. If I was going to live on this island. I’d live over there. Here’s the photos in a collage and a few I pulled out full size.

I fished a lot as a kid in streams during the summer. Mostly really small fish. So, it doesn’t take a lot to please me. Give me a pole, a river, and somewhere to hike next to cold water and I’m good for days. I really enjoyed fishing in the lakes and streams of Adak. There were some salt water dolly varden trout that were starting to run up the streams- and most were between 14 and 16 inches long and put up a pretty good fight… they even jump a little which is cool. Most we threw back. Some we kept… to watch the eagles eat and to eat ourselves. Yahoo for fishing!
