I had the BEST time with Matt on our trip up to the creek! He was absolutely engaging and FUNNY, this guy has a wonderfully playful and quick wit. Of course, went home with gold as they are kind enough to share in their "paydirt" AND it really isn't just a bunch of flakes someone else threw into a pan of sand. Yes, I asked. Being one of the only single people from our cruise ship, it was refreshing to not feel like an oddball out. Drink from the creek, it helps with building the appetite for the salmon bake. Matt made sure we stayed on our 1 1/2 cruise ship feeding schedule, and the term Cruise Cows was coined!
Oh. My. Lanta. The FOOD! I hail from SW WA state, so I'm pretty picky about my salmon. It went above and beyond my expectations, and the setting with our singer/story teller in the background was literally something from a story book. Right down to the walk up to the falls, and roasted marshmallows over the coals by the pond. I didn't eat for the rest of the day. Definitely worth the trip!
