Paul and I were awarded the tours Mascot, Montana and baby Spike to take on our fishing trip in Homer😂 Montana has his own fishing rod with lure.

We need to get rain gear for them.

After that off to the Anchorage Heritage Museum which was worth the price of Admission

Native American history on display

Family was very important to all tribes

Protective glasses made by aborigines!!

Totem pole designs are very unique and have specific meanings from tribe to tribe.

All I know is that they are beautifully hand carved.

Off to the Bore tide at Beluga Point

A tidal bore, often simply given as bore in context, is a tidal phenomenon in which the leading edge of the incoming tide forms a wave of water that travels up a river or narrow bay, reversing the direction of the river or bay's current. It is a strong tide that pushes up the river, against the current.

The wave can come twice a day and is often surfed by local riders, who are sometimes able to surf a very long time on 5-10 foot faces. It occurs 2-3 hours after the low tide time in Anchorage, Alaska.
