CARLIES NEW SPOT

Moved the couch by the window so now Carlie can lay down and keep watch over everything.

NIUKLUK ICE FISHING

Dan, Doug and Mike went Fishing Saturday and got a mess of Trout and Grayling. You can't get any fresher and flash frozen than this.

THANKSGIVING

Day started with this beautiful sunrise and ended with a good turkey dinner with everyone in Council.

WE MISSED WINTER ??

Lovely afternoon with river running more and more, two guys from White Mountain made it 6 miles from Council and had to turn around. Just not winter and snowmachine country yet. Temp still in 30's and rain today, not the winter we had imagined so far.

SNOW

YEA we are getting some snow really beautiful on the trees and really warm today. 34 at our house, doesn;t bother Carlie she and her big red dog take a snooze.......

Couldn't get a picture to down load today maybe because of the high winds we are having??? We are having a heat wave 33 degrees with no snow almost rain.........Storm warning until 9 tonight so will stay inside and put another log in the fire. Doug put up a 75/80 meter antenna (long wire 114 feet long and 30 feet high) last week, works like a charm talked all around Alaska , California, Washington State last night. Any HAMS interested its 3.933 at 9:00 Alaska time, its not a Net but a group of HAMS that meet nightly to make contacts, share stories and discuss techinical items. The Name is THE MOTLEY GROUP. Doug just came in from splitting wood so will get him some hot soup.

WHERE IS THE RICE ?

Here comes the sun and the Camp Robbers. They sure like the rice we cook for them, especially if they come before it freezes which doesn't take long at -3 today......Clear and cold..wind out of WNW about 10-15 mph.......

SUNSET

This afternoon at 4:40 doesn't it look like one of those pictures of California Hills burning??

MMMMMMM GOOD

Thanks to Patsy and Jimmy who are staying at our home in Oregon we received 2 boxes of apples from our trees there. There were so many we decided to share with the whole village......Thanks P & J sure are enjoying them.

FUN RIDING

Another pretty sunrise at 10:30 this morning with temp of 11 low last night of 1. Carlie and I had fun on the Bravo yesterday' she does good until we hit nigger heads that aren't completely covered. Time to go cut some wood in the shop.

MADE IT HOME

Getting back home to Council after a week in Anchorage is not the usual way. First you hitch a ride to as far as the road is open, today it was East Fork Bridge around 45 -46 miles from Nome. There we met Doug and Mike who snowmachined from Council with my machine on a go-devil, after I put on snow suit, winter boots, fir hat we hit the road for home. It was a beautiful day in the 20's and hardly any wind. Some creeks are still running but most frozen. So after 30 miles on the machine and all the fresh air we are hitting the sack early.
