North to the Future

That time of the year.

They're marooned and will die out on the ice. Might as well eat 'em.

Oh, I understand that. I was just wondering about logistics. Those are big critters. Can't see hauling their dead carcasses back in a kayak, but then what do I know? Gut 'em out on the ice? That would reduce a lot of weight.

No one really uses kayaks for that sort of chore.

The tide is almost in.

Why in hell would you camp at the mouth of Hidden Creek in salmon season? Admittedly, it's a pretty beach, but I wouldn't sleep on it without an electric fence around me in summer.

One of the neighbors had a visitor a bit ago.

It appears the twin Volvo turbo diesels move that beast right along.

There go all my romantic notions of the great white north. I suppose next you'll be telling me you guys drive cars up there. Where's the mukluks and harpoons?

:hangs head:

I drive a Sube as a daily driver. I recall a village elder telling me that once snowmachines got to be dependable, he shot all his dogs.

My wife made mukluks for the kids because 40 years ago you couldn't buy warm boots for infants. We might still have them.

While not a fan of Joe Miller, I feel for him. No father should have to deal with this.

Nearby Ring Cam

"A big black bear chased this mama and baby moose that has been living in our neighborhood. It got the baby out in front of our house and dragged it across a DeArmoun towards the river. So moose carcass will be near by, BE CAREFUL! It was so sad to hear it screaming, woke up the whole neighborhood!"
