  • We were fortunate to be able to take a quick summer trip from Cantwell to Paxson on Alaska's scenic Denali Highway. The views were spectacular and the fishing was a blast!

    My wife and I (before she was my wife) made the same trip in 1997. We were in a class c rented motorhome. We weren't supposed to be there. It was extremely corrugated! It was the trip of a lifetime! This brought back a lot of memories. Thanks, I really like your channel.

    the reason why domestic blueberries dont taste as good as wild is that in order to make the farmed ones more viable crop they crossbred them with another bush-berry not unlike the Saskatoon berry thus making the crop more viable and more of it but diluted the taste by at least 50 percent so wild blueberries are pure but domestic are a diluted crossbreed so its alot more work harvesting them but way worth it and its why wild blueberries are so much more expensive in the store harder to get and harvest.. great vlog of your trip

    Instantly recognized the spot you fished at around the 9min mark: The day use area/boat launch just down the road from Tangle Lakes Lodge :) My father and I went there every year on fathers day for years. Always camped in that spot along the creek before it was made a no camping area and the other one down the road opened up. We even took part in a fishing show there one year, good memories. He's passed, but I was just up there a few weeks ago with the family :)

Great fishing clips and the drone footage , wonderful bonus birds eye view of each location. thank you :)

      My grandparents were stationed there and I'm sorry my Grandma never got to return. She loved telling how when she put Grandpa's shirts on the line outside they were stiff as a board when she brought them in. For a West Texas girl she was overwhelmed by all that beauty.

      @@wisconsinfarmer4742 - True.. The northernmost part of the state (where I live), is pretty nice, with the Appalachian foothills creating some scenic mountain. But I suppose I'm like most humans.. we get accustomed to our own back yard and long for "greener pastures". :)
