While renting a cabin from Gary and Linda Holt and their Newfoundland dog Luke ("On Whiskey Creek"), we went on two leisurely kayak outings on the Harris River Estuary and Harris River, in the rain forest of Prince of Wales Island, Alaska.

"We retired 5 years ago and moved to Hollis on Prince of Wales Island from Whiskey Creek Beach on the Olympic Penninsula, we now live here full time.

Just after we moved here they came through mapping and we were able to name the creek next to our cabin Whiskey Creek, so here we are again.

We have a cabin on the beach we live in and one guest cabin, the road is underwater at high tide.

We enjoy all kinds of fishing from Subsistance to Flies and everything in between. With the shrimping, crabbing and hunting we stay pretty busy, spare time is spent keeping everything running and cutting wood.

Before we retired we spent most of our time running rivers, from the Grand Canyon to the Alsek. We were married on the Deschutes River where we met fly fishing and lived at Mecca Flats 38 years ago (or so). If you're in the neighborhood stop by and say hello."
