Salmon Fishing Followed by Nordic Walking

Keefer finally landed his 1st Great Lakes Salmon of the season - caught while fishing the Crystal River. Salmon eggs seemed to work best.
After Keefer filleted his salmon he joined us up on Alligator Hill for a family Ski Walk (Nordic Walk). Our trusty SWIX and EXEL Nordic Walking Poles work great in town (on pavement with the rubber tips/paws on) and for the mile-long climb up to the lookout on Alligator Hill behind town (rubber tips/paws off for trails, the beach, snow and ice). And just like during ski season we only use one-piece poles that are sized to each individuals height - NO twist-locking or collapsible poles.
Keefer is begging to go back to Gustavus, Alaska - more salmon, plus giant halibut!
Tonight the Salmon is going on the grill - BBQ King Salmon. The BBQ King Salmon from the Gustavus Inn may be impossible to duplicate, but we are going to give it a shot.
Kids are cool!
