One of the most beautiful places in the world is Alaska.  Gary had the opportunity to go there on a fishing trip with seven other guys.  It was a memorable experience.  They fished for one week in July, 2019 primarily for halibut.

The Icy Bay Lodge, cabins, and staff were outstanding. The weather was rainy for the first two days, but mostly cloudy the rest of the days.
