More Happenings at Diamond M Ranch Resort

B.E.A.C.H.M. FISHERY TOUR
We went to their beach to learn about the unique industry of 
harvesting wild Alaskan salmon.


We watched from this bluff which was covered with beautiful lupine flowers.


The view was wonderful! 
This is what the nets look like at low tide with buoys holding them in the water.
This family has a permit for 12 nets.  Strong winds and currents help move the fish closer to shore.  This creates more production, but also means the job is tougher and less safe!
Notice Mt. Redoubt, an active volcano, in the background.

CHAINSAW CARVING


Derrick Stanton came to Diamond M Ranch RV Park and demonstrated how he carves with his chainsaw.




Some finished products!

HOMESTEAD CABIN
This is one of the cabins at Diamond M Ranch Resort.  See the fireweed growing on the sod roof.



Here is the garden at our campground.  Part of my job has been to pick rhubarb every Saturday and make "rhubarb crisp" for our pot luck dinners each week.




SO MANY INTERESTING ADVENTURES AT
DIAMOND M RANCH RESORT!
