More Winter Fun

Yes, it's still winter in Unalakleet, Alaska.  Snow isn't melting, but we're enjoying the sunny days.  


We spent a weekend camping with some friends at  a cabin that's along the Iditarod trail, about 35 miles outside of town.

Damon and Ryan gathered firewood


We all spent time cutting it.


The cozy cabin





A beautiful sunset ski


Back country skiing




The 4th, 5th, and 6th grade classes spent a day of celebration at Ayuu's Hill.  A spot about 8 miles up river.  

Sledding


Picnicking


Ice fishing





Towing



Darroll and Savanah came over Easter, we had a great visit.




They brought the Easter ham along with other exciting groceries.






Damon and I participated in the community ski picnic.  We skied a few miles outside of town, grilled hot dogs, drank hot chocolate, and then skied home.

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.
