Further reports on a journey on our homepage. West Coast Trail haven Alberni. Briefly after 18:00 h the journey goes loosely. After nearly 10 hours flight has us the earth in Vancouver again (local time 19:00 h). it with us production, despite all Unkens due to the last empirical values. We turn now with our rented car towards Downtown. are to the good Schlu?doch still. On the Stra?n str?n the people masses do not k?en we so directly recognize. To the English Bay it clumps then merciless mu?auf the legs its in expectation one gro?n fireworks. The fireworks last quite long and show some ungew?liche. Hardly to? in the motel we fall to bed and sleep the sleep. We spirit already around 7:00 h by the empty Stra?n Vancouvers with hungry Fr?t?s b?hen. However the steam clock steams also without spectators before itself. Even a tidy Fr?t? is difficult to find (Coffee Shops against it gibt.s plentifully, also openly). We find one to Schlie?ich. Afterwards the Sightseeing can freshly gest?t. We plan as the first Canada Place. Here one can also without. The roof structure reminds a little of the opera of Sydney, this Geb?e is however probably rather a ship. Au?rdem are aufgef?t here no operas. far ones geht.s to the Gastown - the origin Vancouvers. The steam clock steams after we forwards. For their bell play for the full hour meanwhile a few Touris appeared themselves. We approve ourselves to Coffee Shop a small second Fr?t?. To the Chinatown all L?n took up its multicolored driving. Fish, exotic Fr?te, Gew?e and much more besides become also. We discover even RAM butane, which we to expect (like differently) do not resist k?en. We spend the afternoon in the Stanley park. City park after New Yorker cent ral the park. Totem of pole and the aquarium are gro?n the attractions of the park. Further geht.s then to the Grouse. The Skyride brings us to the summit n?r. The anschlie?nde sessellift completes itself the summit tower. We happen to R?weg however up to the car by the bilberries. The Heidelbeerb?he is more fully more leckerer h?hoch and. H?e and tongue have to down the color. The putridness of the?igen Touris has also their property remained at least enough bilberries f?uns. On the R?fahrt after Vancouver we put Bridge at the suspension. Once?r the Br?e and the ravine wackeln and again to? mu?schon its. in Vancouver our energy hands straight still f?den Japanese beside our motel, then the eyes already slam shut. We are already again fr?auf the legs, t?gen the last Eink?e and then stand in Vancouver the Harbour center with its the prospect are fantastic, particularly since air is many clearer today than yesterday. Against noon we deliver our rented car and are now times again. The bus after Victoria f?t at the Pacific center. Inclusive F?e lasts the Trip 3. Hours. In Victoria likewise many suns in the sky stand, but there is at least likewise many humans on the Stra?n. On the search for a room the forthcoming long weekend (Monday is Canada Day) becomes apparent. The first Bed and BREAK nearly accommodation is full, but the Wirtin tried engages a room f?uns to find. I think, her have the entire. We find something to Schlie?ich. Victoria shows up very English due to prevailing architecture. At the port we find a restaurant and k?en in the evening sun our dinner genie?n. more deeply stand there, go the temperatures suddenly to? and we in. With langbeinigen and armigen Klamotten l? the evening with a glass of red ones directly more w?er bear themselves. Still before the bell awake completely in franz?sch with fruit, Croissants and Caf?u lait. In the neighbouring supermarket vervollst?igen we our Vorr?. The bus to the Trailhead is f?morgen. We will then see stop, like those. But now we do not turn zun?st ourselves Victoria to any longer in such a way radiating blue and pull ourselves in the course of the daily ever more. With Christal guards, miniature museum, Market Place and underwater museum we have most highlights completed already pull it to us home become our long trousers around the nackigen legs sch?frisch. The wind does its?iges. January prefers the couch and a midday sleep to a walk in the Beacon Hill park, then I pull alone from dannen. The park is enormous gro?und I soon the sea reached. It pulls some surfer into the cold. At the beach I set by the washed ashore. My plan gives itself this part no longer ago I abandoned on my fantastic sense of orientation (Oje. H?che H?chen with maintained gulf lawn s?en mean. Some time sp?r I appear in a well-known place at the beach and I can now relaxed that. With dinner there are domestic cancer (Dungeneous Crab) with Nu?nacker - a abendf?endes program - however supersuperlecker. into our Bed and is BREAK nearly dipped the Parlamentsgeb?e straight into candlelight demonstrations and the navy gets before it the Canadian flag with B?ersch?en. A play some spectators attend that. Our Rucks?e wants to be still packed. We deposit a part of the Gep?s at our landlord people up to the end of the Trails. The typical Pacific weather began. Our bus f?t briefly after 7:00 h at the bus station. We are the only passengers, which verr?t enough is, with these weather conditions towards west Coast Trail (WCT) to start have already better times seen actually no longer funktionst?tig, but that is the problem of the. Two hours sp?r by rain forest and continuous rain reach. In the Visitor center we come to the third place of the waiting list and k?en starting from noon again inquire, which with ours. Our bus brings us still up to the Campground. we still times the tent setting up?n. in the meantime knurren our M?n violently whether the failed Fr?t?s. we run again to? to the Visitor center itself a restaurant, in which we?rbr?en with a Brunch the waiting period. P?tlich around 12:30 h we appear again in the Visitor center and get ourselves the hei?rsehnte Permit together with video, map, information and instructions. The R?weg to the tent becomes?erst damp. The rain has us at Intensit?einiges added like that is besch?igt we the remainder of the in the afternoon with the drying of our Klamotten. Gl? there is a?rdachten shelter with iron stove and each quantity at the Campground fire wood - what luxury and W?e. have we the Campground f?uns completely alone. in the hotel directly at the port, lying next door. Gradually already vollst?ige WCT Touris wobbles in. The rain has itself at the night to showers abgeschw?t. comes however nevertheless na?in the backpack. Boat?r the bay to the Thrasher Cove. jumped geht.s?r several ladders against the Trail. We are now in the middle in the rain forest quietly in addition, but the l? with the time after us?r stick and stone, Modder, Br?en, holzbohlen and which one can imagine otherwise still in such a way. Everything looks in such a way, as if we never completely reach it our first night camp at the camper Bay. leaders down there and last with a Cable Car?r the Flu?schlie?n we the today's day off. Thus the tent has to dry still something opportunity and we k?en ours m?n and strained bones. So gradually the bay with Hikern from both directions f?t itself. All see around the F? around equivalent muddily out. The tent comes drying into the bag, then January can save some gram. The shoulders look forward already uncommonly to the backpack. The belts find their traditional place also direct. Behind Matsch follow endless ladders up and the same distance also again down glitschige Baumstammbr?en d?en nat?ich are not missing. A highlight is surely on for instance the H?te of the today's daily distance those endless ladders saved to the Hikern. With only one at present is even more stable the Br?e transverseends person than assumed (f?6 persons is at the same time certified it) and does not swing nearly it the wanderer along becomes not too boring, f?en at its end directly again leaders up on the plateau. The following Matsch takes almost no end. Parts) down to the Walbran Creek rob from us the last Kr?e. are thanks have we however at the Walbran Creek our daily objective reached to divide the Campsite with 3 Montrealern, those already into camper Bay and haven. The Klamotten wars we today only reasonablly drying and to everything?erflu?schauert it still another little from above us however the Hikern from the other direction mediates, those sees n?ich. We begin with a splash-down by the Walbran Creek. h are then endg?ig ready to be launched we. Beach, sand and sun hei? the today's foreign exchange now less concentration, is however less depending upon condition of the sand times more times exerting. At the Carmanah Creek we put to move an extensive lunch time we at the beach along genie?n, not on each step and footstep continue to respect to m?en and daf?ein bi?hen walk-look to k?en. we off see Seel?n in the water or on rock. In fr?n the afternoon we reach Cribs Creek with its Campground. Although the tent stood already nearly, we decided nevertheless to pack up everything again and keep running to Dare POINT. 4.5 km the far way (this is?r the H?te of the daily distance. The Trail is however very good and only also in. The tent is fast again set up. It tr?elt so of rock?r the Moos and has a corresponding color - lightyellow, like reingepiet.. The evening ends to the inevitable campfire completely with one wundersch?n kit ski towards sunset in red and. The fog lies?r the K?e and gives hie and something Spr?egen there. Ever sp?r the day the more we for instance the H?te of the distance d?en?r Bordwalks run, nat?ich again and again interrupted from Schlamml?ern, but these harmless copies do not k?en us any longer ersch?ern. Half time is with the Nitinat Narrows. Now geht.s only with the boat further. Thus we wappnen with patience and wait ourselves for the F?e. Gl?, already one. h sp?r emerges the boat and brings us directly around the n?ste Flu?iegung to the other bank. Cola and beer are erh?lich with the bootsmann, just like fresh living persons. We buy two cancers for enriching our communion transport it living in the plastic bag at the backpack baumelnd. Far one geht.s the Trail following uphill, downhill?r stick and stone and which is intended otherwise still like that f?uns forms several steep ladders on the beach down there to the Tsusiat of case. Beside case strike we our night camp on take we a recreating and cleaning bath the cancers the way into the cooking seawater of the pot find suffer both cancers that-same fate. All Zappeln and weir do not n?t the poor animals anything, which win pot and undreamt-of enriching of our incessant asiatic dehydrogenated. Up to constant drizzling this is?erst. the Campground at the Tsusiat of case is really the sch?te of the entire. January is only around 8:00 h from the feathers/springs to move briefly before 10:00 h still another tidy shower on the tent and d?en. After we bew?igt up the ladders on the plateau, the rain nothing more constitutes us, because the regendach sch?t us. Some Modderl?er, Bordwalks, Br?en and a further Cable Car draw the Trail now from the ladder #1 on the program. This is thus our last ladder. In the afternoon we achieve our goal the Michigan Creek. the sun somewhat out-worked ourselves and we to have now the chance. the ebb-tide have wundersch? Tide pool and Muschelb?e. Dar?r outside is us now and then the Font? one. In the morning around 7:00 h the world still is correct. Thus raus from the feathers/springs, Fr?t? and then last 12 km of the Trails under the F?. The way becomes ever simpler, is as far as possible drying and to the end. Some beginners come to meet us full energy. We against it have it around 12:30 h behind us. Ranger station we deliver our Permit and call a taxi, which is to bring us to the investor of the lady rose in Bamfield. As is then it shown, we have plentifully time, us around our physical well-being too k?ern. Grocery sells Getr?e, cookies to us and f?jeden a WCT Shirt. The ship is not the lady rose, but hei? Francis Barkley, f?t the same route and puts on against 15:00 h. Freight, car and passengers and take course on haven Alberni. by the fjord are wundersch? The sun stands radiating at the sky and h? all Hiker and other Touris on board warmly. Since we run versp?t into haven Alberni against 19:00 h, do we miss the last bus after Nanaimo and/or we look for each other a hotel room in the N? of the. Allegedly all hotels are written off. The zugeh?ge Pub is already fuller around this time of day. Which one is to do in this Kaff different one at one. In the Pub we meet 1950 emigrated Germans, which breaks off nearly in Tr?n as we in the hotel room zur?ziehen itself. The shower calls us loud and clearly. Then we g?en ourselves steak and crawling animals, afterwards we d?en in a correct bed sleep. We sleep out and go against 10:00 h on the search for the n?sten. After some telephone calls we find the departure times. Our Hotelier r?uns still to a taxi, but we. Because who created the WCT, becomes nevertheless probably still the bus run k?en. The way turns out more l?er than expected and in such a way miss we the 10:45-Bus. In the meantime we g?en ourselves an extensive. Haven Alberni is still?und dead. P?tlich around 12:50 h we leave this inviting place and drive?r Nanaimo directly to Victoria. We BREAK nearly refer our before-booked Bed and, which continues to lie somewhat drau?n. Taxi travels h?en we also into a hotel Downtown in-rent k?en. We fetch our deposited Klamotten, go washing and buy. Afterwards we k?en ourselves again sch?n the things of the life hang-evenly. Fullpacked as we are, look for we the n?ste Seafood restaurant. With Crab and King Salmon we can it be good-gone us a taxi to find we p?tlich to the indicated time in ours. There the granny takes to us in the nightgown in receipt. We genie?n the good Fr?t? in all peace, then hei?. Around 11:45 h we rise into the bus after haven. A?eres t?eliges American P?hen, which travels obviously with its entire household, ensures on the entire. The Stra? f?t by endless cleared Nadelw?er, which were partly again aufgeforstet however. On the distance us only small BREAK are not verg?t. represented and we again zusammengetrommelt and into the bus starting from Duncon will already become we the express bus and will hold thus no more. We come planm?g into haven Hardy give still no free beds, even the ship terminal on are?r. Nothing different one remains for us?ig than the n?sten. We divide this fate with an Australian. Too f?t we engage a taxi, which brings us to the Campground near the ship terminal. Thus we m?en at the night the tent impact nevertheless in the middle and particularly on the n?sten morning up to around 6:00 everything again packed, because then the shuttle bus fetches us to the F?e. We should probably sleep somewhat faster. Even still before the bell (4:45 h) it drives us from the sleeping bag. Record time - good. h - is everything under and wohlverschn?. Now the F?enshuttle can come. As differently not to be expected, the shuttle bus comes then in such a way against 6:20. We purchase two tickets in the F?terminal and are now ready for. In the enormous F?e becomes starting from 7:00 h a vorz?iches. Thus we are vers?t again something. ?r the weather changes the day st?lich between rainstorms. we have h into the fjords and from there on st?ig to both sides. And off parts are times embossments, times Font? and times. The most elegant oncoming traffic verk?ert a dolphin school, which pulls to jumping way on us vor?r. Now and then multicolored H?chen of the K?e gives little color. Water does not seem in this area a problem to it-places, Wasserf?e?r case s?en the K?e. somewhat fr?r as planned runs in we in Prince Rupert. Bed is not also here to wars, therefore we pull again on the Campground. Whales from the N? were us unfortunately not verg?t. on the n?sten divide? after Juneau. Even the RV.s keeps after 9:00 h gibt.s coffee reasonable to peace with the Canadian P?hen, which we became acquainted with yesterday on the F?e. So the tent has the chance something. We pack together into all Gem?ruhe our tent household and deposit the S?e in the Campground Office. Now do we k?en with easy Gep? Prince Rupert explore. So completely much gives not ago this Kaff eh and to l? even a few sunbeams flash. Kaff seems to live ausschlie?ich of the BC Ferry. Around 15:00 h is to?nen the Office Alaska navy Highway.s. We appear ourselves in time, in order to purchase our tickets towards Skagway. The remaining afternoon spend we pack of cards that way on that. There still more seem with waiting for the evening and those. After the Ern?ungsfrage is checked off f?den today's day, we arrange ourselves in the F?en Office h?lich?erflu?wird itself the F?e versp?n and only approximately. According to timetable we should run out around 23:45 h. Tats?lich d?en we around 0:30 h at board more, then we address to the upper deck under the Solarium wohnlich in and sleeping bag are fast spread, there the Solarium against expecting only with few Backpackern are bev?ert recurring nebula horn slide we owing to our M?gkeit fast. Against 9:00 h we break the eyes open voluntarily again. Now we k?en the Whale Watching completely dedicate ourselves. In the meantime we k?en dolphins and soon Eagles observe. The pauses in Wrangell and Petersburg offer alternation. Petersburg jumps a Seel? from a buoy to? into the water as the F?e it too close, just like the soon Eagle, which at the investor our Man?r observes, comes. All places between Prince Rupert and Skagway are ausschlie?ich?r the Alaska navy Highway or by air with the remainder of the world. Therefore the F?fahrt is also affordable. Unterm panorama roof with the heating emitters (= Solarium) l? it well bear themselves, as soon as one this however verl?, should. Dinners leave themselves even still a few whales look say it lean the boat on and lightning-like on the announced whale side, there itself now all passengers there tummeln and a view of the whales too. Font? and R?enflosse dip a few marks around 22:00 h are bubu, because around 5:00 h the night will again past be, because we put to want around 5:30 h in Juneau on and exactly there we to step out. Over 4:45h. begins to beep the clock 5-min?ich we in the vertical one and packs together themselves our Gelumpse. The shuttle bus chauffiert us in the deepest. That brings us to this time of day cordially few, because an open Fr?t?sgelegenheit to find, f?t. In Fishermen.s Wharf we discover a ge?nete Bakery, in which we get coffee and Croissant. The gegen?rliegende hotel has still no room freely, but at least our baking luggage d?en we. Thus we explore the city before rising after a Selfguided route. Juneau makes a quite h?chen impression with its nice H?ern. We even of the sun verw?t, thus da?wir the surrounding mountains admire k?en. Against noon gibt.s schlie?ich nevertheless still another a free and clean. We use the opportunity and s?ern us. To a fast Mittagssnack we drive with the n?sten. From the bus station we m?en still approx.. 1 mile by pedes up to the glacier zur?legen. the glacier discover we salmon on the way to their Laichplatz. is almost unbelievable, which these animals on their way to? into their. The glacier shows up in the sunshine is enough for East Glacier Trail, which offers h?che views on the glacier and various Wasserf?e on the way by the rain forest. Forest soil as well as the entire wood are with Moos?rzogen. refer to the direct presence of B?n. Trails gibt.s again jumping salmon. This mark m?en they. Many tried it, but we did not see not one salmon, which created it up w?end our presence. How many attempts it probably need to?rwinden a such obstacle. On our R?weg along the Stra? to the bus stop we have Gl?, we become trampenderweise the n?sten bus stop. We have even a direct Anschlu?nach Juneau. I eat Salmon for alternation times, mmh. we begin the day with an extensive Fr?t?. to the wrong time awake (10:00 h) and all registers pulled, over also me into the realm. Our trip to the Glacier Bay we change into a heli coil Trip?r. we land on one the glacier and have there. The abrasion of the stones has a consistency such as paste and is so easily, more da?er swims. We d?en now in front sit beside the pilot. Spektakul? Views of the glaciers and its zerkl?eten columns the pilot makes m?ich. One the glacier w?st even and has itself a part of the forest was already gotten back by putting forward the glacier gef?t as w?n. after good granting to land we again in Juneau. We schlie?n now a trip after Douglas on, whom we undertake with the?entlichen bus k?en. from Juneau, which is on the gegen?rliegenden side of the fjord. Douglas is a contemplative suburb with beach, picknick AREA and port. The blue sky and the warm temperatures drove some families and children to the beach to playing and bathing. it itself today around one of the few days in the year, on which one in Juneau of these. The remainder of the daily we do not spend with the sighting of sip it however clever between all things find. The transfer bus is now also organizes us fr?um 9:00 h at the Alaskan hotel invites tomorrow, thus da?wir timely our Klamotten f?morgen together packs and bubu makes. We begin the day with capuccino in the Caf?egen?r the Alaskan hotel, at which the shuttle bus is to drive off to the F?e. h is angek?igt the bus, but we enter already 10 minutes before 9:00 h and 5 minutes sp?r f?t the bus at the hotel appeared loosely p?tlich, have stop pitch and to harvest to only shoulder-twitch of the bus driver, this Sp?ommer. by. We have again a wonderful day get f?unsere last F?enetappe from Juneau to Skagway. the glitzernde sea of mountains and Hanging Glaciers accompanied. Topside it is so warm, da?wir after short time in. We meet some people of the last F?enabschnitts. After the pause at the Sp?achmittag in Haines we reach. We accomodation us in the Grand North hotel and schnuppern so little historical gold fever air. Many new hotels, restaurants and Souvenirshops. But all maintain at least the historical fronts, the digesting walk after dinner f?t us into those. A Auff?ung. quite succeeded we take in let us talk to Onion Saloon in likewise historical Atmosph? and furniture, only the S?sp? at the soil are missing. The morning k?en we in Skagway stroll to our course towards White. Probably again Cruise of ships arrived, the crowd. The sun does still somewhat heavily by the clouds, but up to the admitting travel it created it reasonablly. We could admire the steam locomotive only in Skagway. The course travel up to the White passport impresses strongly in particular due to the wild Streckenf?ung and the swindle-exciting Br?en. Briefly before the White passport changes the landscape suddenly. In Fraser the course travel is to the end and we into a bus is reloaded. ?er Carcross drive we directly to Whitehorse Downtown. Our planned flight to Anchorage does not turn out somewhat more with difficulty than foreseen, there it a direct flight gives we the bus nevertheless to take and buys to tickets f?die GrayLine. takes 2 days the travel with?ernachtung in Beaver Creek. has we the tomorrow's morning time, in order to explore Whitehorse. January is despite coffee service to the bed only with M? from selbigem too. But schlie?ich hardly one hour sp?r succeeds this. The first action to organize a flight to the Katmai NP succeeds. T?ich even several flat steel bars become? offered. Afterwards we dedicate ourselves in the high speed gear Whitehorse. Wheel steamer, is probably the gr?e highlight, that the city too. The wheel steamer can ausschlie?ich with a gef?ten. An employment is worthwhile itself and is informative. In the gallopp geht.s then to? toward GrayLine. we purchase sand-yielded on the hand and a Coffee for tons go. we into another bus shipped. After one hour of Lunchpause we continue driving at the Alaska Highway. The weather is weighed us, then we k?en in the Kluane NP even the mountains with fresh snow in the K?en will admire appreciably more meagerly and more roughly. Even the B?e, is no longer much unloading Spruce Trees, but the?te grows all in Stammn?. Au?rdem grew it all many smaller than before. Forest, Meadows, mountains and glaciers accompany us to Beaver Creek. Here we have our Overnight stop. In this nest the dog is buried and the hotels has uneingeschr?te permission for money pressures. Anyhow the relation between the offering is more f?Zimmer and meals at the price v?ig beside it. The evening walk to the Beaver Creek brings little movement after the bus travel and f?t by a nice tendency in the Abendd?erung. An infinitely long bus day is approaching for us. About 30 minutes sp?r we won the Alaska Border?rwunden and thus again one hour. Now the passengers leave us. A short coffee break is verg?t us, then we are plugged again into the bus and take the n?ste stage. The weather is quite mixed, but the surrounding mountains d?en. After further 2 hours we come into. Briefly before the Lunch tavern we d?en the pipeline and a pumping station admire. Hours exit before we drive continue. Around 15:00 h geht.s again on the runway. We discover let us dent Sheep highly above in rock as small. we even make one for 70 miles before Anchorage at the Matanuska Glacier. P?tlich l? the sun for this between the clouds look themselves and illuminates the glacier. In the Matanuska Valley?ert itself that entirely landscape. everything w?st whether the gem?gten climate too more au?rordentlicher. Beside the Visitor center in Palmer lies a small garden exhibition, those the flowers and in accordance with? the area shows take now the last 40 miles between Palmer and Anchorage under those. P?tlich around 19:30 h we reach Anchorage Downtown. seem ourselves already assigned to be, so entschlie?n we, it in the N? the airport to try, there we fr?eh our taxifahrer appears along tomorrow a motel with a free room we f?den themselves Katmai NP with food, then ist.s time f?. The motel shuttle brings us around 7:00 h to the airport we only times Fuelfla, because fully with Fuel, one delivers Fuel in Brooks Camp both and bottles acquire k?lich. But then we go also soon into air. In the small 16-Mann-Hupfer fly we to King Salmon. we, da?wir a Permit f?den Campground to Brooks Camp ben?gen, which one can procure only in King Salmon. But a telephone call with that. We get a Campsite f?4 days. The Permit is issued in Brooks Camp - exeptionally. From King Salmon we fly on by water fliers - much to Jan.s. As the first we receive a briefing into the behaviour rules f?das to lives in the neighbourhood with Grizzlies. After the tent stands, which are accommodated Klamotten and food in the daf?vorgesehenen Beh?er and our hunger is satisfied - meanwhile it is 12:00 h and this was our Fr?t?.

It seems to be already rather full however, because it is interested ausschlie?ich in the eggs, the remainder moves untouched again to? in the water it trollt itself into somewhat further distance of the platform at the Flu? We notice the opportunity and march toward the platform. But au?r Black Flies, jumping salmon and. One hour watch we the jumping salmon, those with more or less success that about 2 m high case try too?rwinden. hunt the ducks after small fish. Duck was successful, hunts all other ducks the successful, around it. To? to the Campground we address the dinner - Curryreis also. Around 20:00 h the Ranger talc begins with a very interesting and maintenance seed video?r gro?n. The evening ends gem?ich at the campfire. Many White Soxs (or Black Flies) surren around us and nerves and bei?n and bei?n and. HP: ?rigens Fuel can acquire k?lich, bottles however. At the Campground Fuel stands to the Verf?ng in the Fuel crate enough. To us however a bottle is missing, in order our digester operates to k?en. But we have still the small petroleum bottle, which we by the Counter. Only where with contents. January sacrifices itself and empties. So we have also the cook problem. January ordered Ausschlafen and also gotten gem?ich, then we make ourselves march ready. The goal is the Dumpling. The Trail begins directly at the Campground and is pr?riert well. It f?t steeply uphill by high grass. Soon we have the Overlook. The sun radiates and we looks for each other a place on the small plateau, from which we k?en the?rragende panorama genie?n. We observe the B?n at the beach with the binoculars. Hour disappeared the sun to descend therefore beschlie?n we to go but not completely highly to the Summit but again around those. At the Campground we leave our Daypack to? and go?r. To the Bridge pulls Alf. (j?ere B? on the Br?e its show for the enthusiasm of all Touris off (the?ere gro?

At the Campground we see, da?das front tent arrived somewhat. Our tent is also flat and a further tent on this. On our direct way to the Ranger us the owner of the front tent (a Schwabe pure hard) already comes along. The damage is probably by a playing B?n. also sp?r the been added B?nspezialist assumes that, the this more easily, more harmlessly, not aggressive B?

But schlie?ich they decide nevertheless, da?alles is safe and attaches only importance on it, da?alle remaining tents arrived again closely to stand together. We are placed to us before the alternative, either the broken equipment from the Rangern to the Verf?ng too posed get f?die remaining time in the Katmai NP or into a Cabin of the NP service to pull f?die Cabin, since nevertheless somewhat mulmig zumute us is. K?e and bath are we much luxuri?untergebracht. and we both arrange us now h?lich in expectation of the owners of the. After dinner we go on a beer into the Lodge, there take place n?ich a Christmas party. We turn Sp?r in the evening to? into the Cabin and hardly still come to the T?hinein, then the Kalifornier spread. Au?rdem lie it already in the beds r?en it then nevertheless the N?gste to the side and we k?en now all in the bed, in order to recover us from the events of the daily. The night passed jerkily however b?nlos. Around 9:00 h our route begins the 10 in the Valley OF. 23 km long crushed stone runway - the only Stra? the NP - f?t. The three pauses are a welcome interruption. Stop: at the B?nbaum, besides is a withdrawn. All B?n seems to use always the same footsteps.

Our warm Klamotten in combination with the rainfirm equipment bew?en itself w?end our 3-st?igen waiting period. Briefly before we want to give up, nevertheless still another B?auf appears. It positions itself before case and f?t salmon with one directly gro?n jump - much. A j?erer B?taucht up, the other one is already on the way elsewhere in the case, f?t now up in the Flu?auf of salmon and climbs the case also again down. It really offers some to us at motion studies. But then it has the nose fully, stupid public today on the gegen?rliegenden side in the forest.
