Mom and Memackie's Visit to Alaska

Damon and I were fortunate to have my mom and grandma come visit at the beginning of September. We treated them to some true Alaskan adventure.



Boating up the Unalakleet River





These were the fish Memackie caught with her first 2 casts.





These were the fish that my mom and Damon caught with their first casts.






We hiked up to the top of Army Hill for a nice view of the village and some berry picking.





Getting around town on the four-wheeler






Picnicing up river on a sand bar. We enjoyed looking at bear and moose tracks.





Mom, Memackie, and I flew into Anchorage and took a tour down to Seward. We went on a day cruise where we were able to see this glacier calving.




More pretty Seward scenery



It was a wonderful visit, and I don't think it could have been more perfect. Damon and I were so thankful that they came.

Means to get there

To get to Alaska Heidi and I will be driving my truck. (We're selling her car; anybody want to buy a "93 Corsica? ///SOLD///) We've been researching many different options on how to get all of our stuff up, and we've settled on this nice new trailer. We'll put everything that we own inside and drive it to Wasilla where my parents live. We can't take everything to Stebbins, so a lot of our belongings will stay at my parent's house. Everything else that we need to bring, we will barge or fly to Stebbins. It's 6ft X 10ft. Heidi and I are pretty excited about this trailer. Other possible uses, besides transcontinental voyages, include hauling a snowmachine , or hauling a motorcycle . Granted I do not own either of these items, but if I ever do, man will I be able to haul them around.

Guspuk for Damon

Image
Last year Heidi made herself a couple of guspuks (also pronounced quspuk or kuspuk depending on where you are). Lately, she's been working on one for me. She was able to make a pattern from an old guspuk of my dad's. She finished it today and it fits great. We are having a spirit week at school to help get everyone psyched for the state testing in a couple weeks. Friday is guspuk day, so guess what I'm wearing.
