John and Mabel Lowe Family: The Kodiak Trip won at the Auction!

Oh so many photos which ones to share?
Remember the family reunion auction in Lincoln City 2003? Mike and Heath both won the trips for the "RICE, Bed and Breakfast" donated by Marie and Dale. We all decided to go at the same time and Heath graciously invited his in laws, Marolyn and Kahlile and his parents, Carol and Jim. We had a fantastic time. Mike and Marolyn spent most of their time hunting BEAR. They never did find one but had a couple of almosts. The following pictures are just a few of the highlights.

Thanks again Marie, Dale and their family for sharing their part of the world with all of us.

These guys keep busy just roaming the Island.

We are all ready to leave on our charter for some real fishing!

Heath and his catch of the day!

The end of our fishing expedition.

These are prize winning salmon and Halibut. Bonnie was won the award for landing the largest.

Dale taught us how to pack and seal our catch.

Mike and Kahlile are trying to see if perhaps they could find Marolyn a BEAR in here, but the offices were closed.

In this brush we did find evidence that a Bear had just been through this area. Marolyn did pick up a souvenir too.

Marolyn has given up on finding a Bear for now and settles for some wild flowers.

Still looking for Bears. We were told this was a good spot to find Bears. We were just a bit early and missed them. The very next day we heard that the missionaries were at this same spot and did encounter 2 bears. The only thing we found were signs that explain what to do incase you should happen upon some Bears.
