Time to discuss my new backyard for the next 7 weeks or so. The Russian River Campground is wedged between the Russian River and the Kenai River (pronounced Key-nie). Most of the campsites are located on a shallow mountain top or along the ridge nestled between towering mountains that threaten to all but engulf the small campsite below. On the approach to the campsites near the back of the campground property, a narrow, bumpy road windes along the Kenai River. About half way up the road, there is a tiny island barely in the river with large birch trees growing. At the top of one of those trees is a large Bald Eagle nest where, of course, a rather large symbol of America resides.
A handle full of glimspes of bear sightings so far, mostly black bear. A couple of moose that I have seen personally, along with dozens of large rabitts that are so big that I feel as if they should be classified as Kangaroos. Anyways the salmon should be here soon and then comes the Grizzlys.
