In summer of 2002 1 Palmer 〜 Little Susitna River 〜 In June of 2002 , we went for salmon fishing in Palmer . There are Little Susitna River and Susitna River near Palmer , and both have enormous numbers tributaries and lagoons , and vast deltas . Both rivers are draining into the Cook Inlet . Since fishing was finished in the forenoon , we went to Talkeetna to see Mt.Mckinley (Denali). 3 hours driving took us Talkeetna , but unfortunately it was rainy then . All flights were cancelled . I tried next day again . Though it looked rainy , the flight-seeing was opened . We could book three seats , but the Mckinley course was changed to the glacier course because of bad weather . The real pleasure of fishing expedition in Alaska is not only the bite of kingsalmon , but also such a grand nature . We are living in the very developed country , so we are easily satisfied with secondary or artificial nature . However, real nature still remains here . I don't know what will happen here in the future . We visited the museum in Talkeetna . It put Mr.Naomi Uemura's articles on display , who had passed away at the Mt.Mckinley in winter of 1984 . I wonder he might have climbed up on that glacier . |
