Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!

Sunday we decided to go explore. Gabe was told by a couple customers that there is this one spot in Alaska where it opens up and if you go there at dusk and look out you can see moose and bears and all kinds of wildlife. We haven't seen any bears in Alaska yet, so we decided to go on a bear hunt. We went with a couple other guys from the company and made them drive so it would be more enjoyable for us :) We found a couple campgrounds and stopped to look at the bulletin boards to see if they said anything about bears in the area. We knew if we found a bear warning on one of them then it would be a good place to start. And we found one! The paper on the bulletin board said that there was a "problem bear" that had been recently sighted in the area. I just wanted to find a nice cuddly bear, not a problem bear! That just sounds like trouble. We wandered around a bit (I left the car door open, just in case) but all we ended up seeing was a moose across the river. There was a couple trails that you could take up the mountain, but we saw a family getting out of their car and the guy was taking his gun with him. Naturally, I chickened out and decided we weren't quite prepared to meet a bear. 

We left and drove out to the end of the road and found a cool beach spot. We wandered around and looked for interesting things in the rocks. Gabe actually found a glass bubble that had formed from lightning hitting the sand. That was an awesome find, apparently those are really rare.

Isn't it cool?

Something new is that I finally have something to do that'll keep me busy. At least for just a week. The office manager out here had to leave town and so I'm helping out and taking her place for the week. It's a fairly simple job. All I have to do is text the techs when a job comes in and scan the paperwork. And I get paid a couple hundred dollars to do it. So it aint too bad of a gig I'd say.
Work is going well, Gabe is still doing AWE-SOME. Every install he goes to he has the opportunity to sell the customer some "upgrades" or extra equipment and he gets money for what he sells. Right now he is #2 in the company for upgrades! And its not a small company, that's for sure. So proud of my husband for his hard work.
