Our tour director came through again. We visited Potter Marsh boardwalk wildlife viewing center. They have built a series of boardwalks and we were able to walk above the marsh and observe birds, an otter, and even an bald eagle.
It was raining slightly when we started and of course it got slowly wetter as we stayed. There were some salmon swimming in the stream and we watched a couple of big ones surface.
After a lesson in Walmart efficiency for our visiting family. (huge store; 2 lines open; a person's card didn't work - had to call a supervisor; a couple with various WIC checks - had to call a supervisor; = 45 minutes in line) we headed home. On the way through the base Hedda and I spotted a black bear on a side road. Later when I was walking Molly, I saw a cow moose and twin calves. Aris was getting frustrated that he hadn't seen anything recently so after supper (Cathy & Bill made stuffed salmon and we had dessert at our house, cheese cake, Bailys and coffee) Aris, Molly and I went for a ride around the base and saw two moose.
Tomorrow we are on the road again towards Whittier.
Bill & Cathy bought bear spray. I guess she figured she wants to keep Bill around if we find a bear and I can outrun him!
