Either way I think you should go to Alaska. I'm here for the first time having a great time. :):):)

Permit only, drawn by lottery system. Talk about being up close and in person with Brown Bears. Flew in and slept in tents. Bears around 24/7. :B

McNeil River

But for those that can't go or haven't gone or have kids and grandkids..this is a great look.

Of course.
But with that comment, You might better have titled your original post: If you can't go to Alaska.
Not no need to go to Alaska

"Not no need" is a double negative; therefore you are saying there is a need to go to Alaska

Rollnhome, you're misreading 3oaks statement. He highlighted the word not, which means the rest of the sentence is in quotes, "no need to go to Alaska."

Oh God yes...a martini would be perfect! What kind? Gin or vodka? Tossing in a few capers makes a really nice tatse hit, too.

Thanks for posting that link!! Amazingly high quality video for a live stream. It's sort of hypnotic -- watching the bears yawn, and shuffle around in the water, and sniff the air.

You beat me to it, Gary. Some people's kids....:R

I'm not usually a great fan of bears (except for the Chicago Cubs), but this bearcam is addictive!

Thanks Gary for posting the pix.

Gary,
Thanks for the link. It's good to be able to show the grandkids what we saw at Brooks!
