Default Life in the northland

I know you guys like Alaska pics... not sure why.... This is where I'm working for a bit this summer, until I bail to go shoot birds with Trigg and Bob Brown that is. It's the Kilbuck Mtns and not too far from Rich Andersons beloved Taylor Mtns. These are from todays walkabout. We had a sow and 3 cubs come to watch us sample a trench. A few rocks tossed her way sent them packing to our favorite blueberry patch. Never seen so many bears anywhere as here. We have 2-3 right in camp some days. Good thing we have a dog the size of a horse to keep them away most of the time. We got most of the way up here on 4wheelers... I feel like a very fortunate fellow today in that I can still walk ridges like this.

Richard; What are you digging for? Are you looking for something or are you just digging in getting ready for an invasion? Gerald.

That is fabulous country. The chap pictured below originally made his home in the Taylor Mountains. I had one trip up there where we must have seen 5000 or more Caribou and the bears were just as thick as Richard describes.

Gerald: I'm running a drilling program looking for gold. The drill is broken so I've gotten to do a couple of walkabouts on the ridges looking for more drill targets.... and blueberries... Here is a better pic of our audience that Stan got with his zoom...the berries are thick so they're very shiny and fat. In the first pic I showed above, the view is to the SW over the Yukon Delta so there is nothing higher than I am between that spot and Japan...
