Or should I say "permafrost"
Sun go's down around 9:10 now.
Same pic after the chopper was gone.
No trains,cars,trucks,celphones or the sound of jets flying overhead.
Here's a pic of the 3 Inuk's I'm working with,from left to right.
Barney,Jimmy,and Norman the new guy who flew in last night. As you can see the fine art of leaning on the shovel is not lost in the Arctic.
Shouldnt have a problem finding this sled when the snow flys.
Sign on the inside of the shitter doors. heh!
This fella seems to have taken a shine to me,he was laying 30 feet from my cat watching me work tonight. Scared the shit out of me and i had to get muddy but got some pics from way too close.Nice rack. This was close as i could get and then he got up and was shillouted against the sky line and the 9:00 o clock sunset.
At a whopping 5.5mbps tonight it takes a half hour to post one pic or even get on. Here's a better shot of the same cariboo after he got antsy about me walking up to him. Soon they will begin their migration south east to Baker lake for the big lake swim.
nice shovels,they dont browse like elk,they speed browse,running from lichen patch to lichen patch.
The beards coming fine and I think I gained ten pounds.
The beards in the itchy stage but its one less place for the bugs to feed.
I got 6 hanging around my tent in the morning and then they cruise over to my excavation to sit and watch me get stuck in the mud. I got another month to rope one of these buggers and go for a ride.
