Bill, You might need to do what I did a few years back. My son was in the Army and got stationed in Fairbanks AK. I hinted around about flying up to fish for nearly six months, before he got the not so suttle hint. He started getting camping gear, up graded his fishin gear and a year later I fly up and we fished and camped together from Fairbanks to Homer, with side trips to Valdeze and Seward. We had such a good time together that HE paid to fly me up the next year for three weeks, What a Son!!!
