Good job!
We just returned from two weeks in AK, attending to my wife's newly expanded clinic in Anchorage and taking the Anchorage Seward special one Saturday and the Anchorage to Spencer Whistle Stop the other. No fishing, but one of our Alaskan friends had just returned and said there were a million salmon on the run somehwere on the Kenai Peninsula, the most he'd seen in the last ten years. I saw the remnants of your work train at Portage and then the line of ballast cars and caboose parked north of Girdwood, perhaps on a siding waiting for Monday.
Most amazing thing was seeing a surfer surfing on the 2 ft high leading edge of a bore tide on the Turnagain Arm! I've seen everything now.
