Adventures
Naknek-Bristol Bay, AK June - July 2026
Working the salmon run on the tendering boat F/V Namorada. The Bristol Bay salmon run is the largest wild sockeye salmon migration in the world. The tendering boat takes the catch from the fishermen, weighs it and issues a ticket that is later used to pay them. We then take the catch to the processor on shore, unload it with a fish pump, clean the fish holds and head back out to load more fish. We eat and sleep on the boat in tight quarters and never get off the boat during the busy season. Being summer in Alaska, it is daylight most of the time, but the few hours of dusk transitioning to dawn are remarkably beautiful! And it's quite common to see bears coming down the bluff to shore in search of a meal.
Haines, AK to Homer, AK Road Trip - June 2026
A bucket list roadtrip with my Dad spotting grizzlies and braving the frost heaves of the Alaskan Highway through the Yukon back into Alaska and down to Homer! Memorable scenery and stops included Kluane National Park, Tetlin National Wildlife Refuge, Wrangell-St Elias National Park, The Musk Ox Farm, and Grewingk Glacier in Kachemak Bay State Park

About
​Recently, I found myself reminiscing about the personal webpages of the early internet in the 1990s. I loved them! It was a space people used to share their personality, their interests, 'cool links' to websites they loved, and so much more. Instead of a profile page on a social media site that is preformatted and awash with suggested content, personal webpages were an artistic creation and a real reflection of their designer and curator.
​
This page is the result of those musings. It's a place for me to share myself on my own terms with anyone who knows or has known me. I plan to update it regularly and share my pictures, favorite music, adventures and anything else that feels like it has a place here. --- Wes
