Weather is in the craps today, can't even see accross the yukon....possible freezsing rain conditions, and 28 miles to the cabin and no trail put in yet...i think that is a bit much for the bravo! So i am going to wait till monday and see how it looks, tons of snow out there...my buddy told me i can use SWT 550 Skandik to get the trail in. I think monday i am going to take him up on that offer. I have the 8th thru 13th off from work to try get everything lined out, quite excited say the least...

It isn't raining or snowing on the Kpen... it is just crusty ice.
Walking is hard, even in snow shoes.


Learned to trap a bit in AK - Now trying to do the same in Michigan.

Yup, this is some crap weather. I went to check the line today and came home completely soaked. Picking up a couple of reds made it a little more bearable.

Yeah, he's a newbie. I'll have a chat with him when he gets back to town. Good luck on the line!

Not sure Jon. He thought it would run $50.00 but I thought it was more like 100. Either way it was a good deal, especially since it didn't cost him anything to go there. I'll have Christine text him and I'll get back to you on that. I told him to offer part of the meat back for the elders too, so hopefully he did that. Should be some good eats!
