Hey Larry Chase!!!!

Where are you currently on your Alaska Road Trip??

Just looking at the pictures of Seward, AK. Got awfully homesick..

There was a large and very famous oil painting that hung there in Seward
in a hotel/bar for years and years and years. It's image was on the
businesses business cards. It was a painting of an Alaska  woods scene,
and a Black Bear with cubs  surprising a trapper hankypanking with a
native girl behind a log .... breeches down, longhandles showing, bare
bottoms, etc, etc. yet no "Parts" exposed. Tastefully done, yet
expressing Alaska's more "Raw and Wild" years. I think the painting was
last at the Van Gilder Hotel there in Seward, but I can't remember for
sure, it's been so long ago since I saw it.

Anyway .... just wondered if you got a chance to see it.

Hope you are enjoying yourself. Love hearing about the "Far North!!"

Regards,
