Many adventures in the past few weeks

Been a very busy month....

First off I would like to give credit to the amazing interns we have had this summer.  Sadly some of these interns have already returned back to their hometowns for College.
From left: Kayla Jackson -New York, Suzanne Steinert-Kentucky, Jeremy Brooks-Montana, Connor O'Brien-Georgia, Hanna Sundstrom-Minnesota, Erin (Me), bottom row from left Allison Dahl-Alaska,
Rachel Skrobot-Ohio, Katelyn Dotson-Kentucky.  Without these fabulous interns we wouldn't be able to do all the animal programs or have healthy baby animals.  Thank you interns for all your hard work this summer!

We also added a new intern to our group..

Meet Amanda from New Jersey

 The baby animals are doing great!  Our 2 moose calves Richtor and Tectonic are growing so fast!

The Musk Oxen calves are also continuing to thrive at the AWCC.  Tsuni Must weigh near 100 pounds!

On a separate note; my mom visited Alaska about 3 weeks ago.  We went to Denali National Park where we then hopped on the bus and rode through the park.  Denali National Park is roughly 6 million acres in size!  The first thing we saw as we entered the park was something hiding in the bushes.  Any guesses?  I will tell you at the end of the blog. Hint:  Either a moose or a caribou.






             Me and my mom posing for a few pictures in the park. :)

This little guy was my favorite animal that we saw in the park.  Just after we left the rest stop called Eilson to return back; this red fox was spotted walking along the side of the road.

Reminded me of Jade at the center

A few days ago I was lucky enough to give a private tour to the one and only John Oates.

They were a group of 6 and all very nice to tour with.  They even shared their bananas with a tourist so they could feed the moose.

The latest adventure that I went on was back to Homer, Alaska.  This is the Halibut capital of the world.  We had a very kind lady named Cyndy ask a few of us to go on a halibut Charter in her place.  Cyndy always donates a bunch of bananas for the moose when she visits the center.  Thank you again Mrs. Cyndy!

The charter was based out of Ninilchik,AK.  We camped about an hour away in Homer,Ak.  As I was waking up this morning their was a Bald Eagle perched on a nearby satellite.  

FISH ON!!!!  I caught a 30 pound halibut!

Everyone in our group limited out with 2 halibut per person.

 This was the big one of the charter trip.  And I only got sea sick 1 time!!!!

lastly the AWCC was challenged in the ALS Icebucket challenge!  I think we passed the challenge.
