February 21, 2015: Clam digging Juneau Alaska Style...

February 21, 2015: 

Morning clam digging with family in
Juneau, Alaska.

(I can't believe I forgot my big camera, 
although my iPhone stepped-up-to-the-plate rather nicely today)...

This heavy fog during the drive to the harbor
had us a bit worried about the upcoming boat ride...

Yes, the fog was incredibly dense...


Thank God the fog began to lift soon after our arrival...

Loading Sis Nadine and the pup into the dingy...

We made it to shore...

Husband Max was the first to start digging...

Low-flying geese in front of brother Alan's boat...

Brother Steve, Amberly and Abby the other pup arriving onshore...

And, a river runs through it...


Sis Nadine found her 'honey hole'...

We all were lucky clam digging,
but I'm also super stoked with these 3 ginormous cockles...





Ewe...

Brother Alan's boat on the left with Steve's in the center,
as viewed from the dingy we're in...

Nearing the harbor after our fantastic outing...










A successful and fun-filled clam digging adventure,
that's for sure...
