now, can we PLEASE get to day 5?

I wish ! Still no word from him on this end. It's getting close to his bed time too. He better come up with two days worth on sunday if he expects to sell that book.

white,you sure okie isnt still skinning some of them marten through the mouth?or finishing up the feet?that or having one last cold gulo sandwich.

Very well could be. I know that one evening he went to bed pretty whipped and I had to wake him the next day for lunch.

all the clothes,the big boots,walking in snow,snowshoeing,expending 8 or 10 thousand calories,jet lag,and excitement.what is there to make you tired?

Lol, for lunch?Half the day is over with by then.

LOL That's all true.

It wasn't quite lunch time but it was getting close.

As it should be.Just making money is the purpose I'd be going to Alaska to do.

Man,I'd be chomping at the bit every morning to get out there.

I'm plum wore out just reading the story, can't imagine how tired I'd be if I was actually there.

Though I have heard about them snow shoe miles and what they can do for your stamina!

....and most of the daylight. I lived in Fairbanks, where the sun rose after 10:30, and set prior to 2:00 I December. But to be fair, with the snow, we had plenty of light prior to 10:00, and after 2:00 (but not much before, and less after, lol)

Snow shoed alot my whole life.It can do alot for your stamina.

True story too. That's one reason I chose to do this in February. Longer light and the days usually are zero or above with the nights down to minus 40. The sun really has some power coming back by this time. Best month of the year IMO.

Now how did you ever guess that?Lol

you notice it when the driveway starts to melt off and you can see pavement on the road

Yes it can. And your vocabulary when you hook a beaver stob.

I read 330's,whats the best footholds for wolverine?

Can't be no worse then walking on top of those pine thickets bobcat hunting with snowshoes on.Lol

pavement?

My memory may be a bit fuzzy, but I don't recall seeing my driveway until sometime near the end of March.

I do recall going grayling fishing the end of May in a creek not too far from home and the bottom half of the creek still was full of ice.
