A lot of PaPa Bear Adventures clients are in their 60's for their
unguided trips.
Some people like cheap, no-frills Alaskan vacations and others
prefer a Bloody Mary on the veranda before flying off to yet
another remote fishing spot. I can see the appeal of both and
like 'tripper I wouldn't belittle either preference.

I agree, wasn't trying to belittle it, just saying the time-clock tours are
not for me. ...

Well, the "tuck 'em in bed and read them Goldilocks" comment
didn't exactly come across the way you intended then.

Sorry about that Ken, just joking around.
Can't take it too serious. ]
As long as you got line in the water, guess it doesn't matter.

Looks can be deceiving though. For example, you look (from pictures, have
yet to shake your hand!) younger than me, and I'm almost positive you are
older than me.

And if it were my company and I was selecting PR photographs, I'd want
Warren and Bruiser posing, not... well, not some of the, er, more vintage
members of ROFF. You want the old rich guys thinking they can reclaim their
youth (between sips of martinis) while at your lodge, right?

After thinking about it more, I used bad choice of words to describe the
outfitters who are just trying to make a living. I'm age 52, and not
getting any younger, but sometimes still have that young feeling in heart.
Didn't mean to offend anybody here in ROFF.

The leopard rainbows were pretty exciting up in Alaska, but I did enjoy the
Salmon too.
The whole trip was a great experience....I know now how much I miss
backpacking, so I'm planning a few solo trips up in the Sierra Mountains.
