No, that thing lies. It was about 70. We have had the longest stretch of good weather we have had in many years though. About three weeks of sunny days in a row. Been real nice here after a long cold spring. I hope it keeps up all summer, my bees love it. So do I.

Yukonjeff: the quill do they eat mosquitos or just ground bugs?

They are up off the ground, and love mosquitoes. I tossed in a few worms, and they fight for them. I believe they would eat any bug that moves. And any that fly into the cage are snapped up pretty quick, even the big fly's.

Thanks for the photo flipping. Not sure why it does that sometimes or how to correct it afterwards. Good looking fish there.

Seems to me there was a picture on here a couple years ago of a truck stuck in the same spot. Looks like really high water.

Great looking dryfish Jeff !!

Viking: we hit 89 here yesterday. This has been the worst two weeks I can remember in Alaska. Miserably hot and sunny every day. Horrible mosquitoes this year. Hard to do anything outside.

That's good looking dry fish. I have never tried it but it looks good.

Yeah White we have not been hot but dry. Our water levels are really low. Mosquito are not that bad as we have had a lot of South wind.

Came across these marten boards while kicking around in the brush. Figured some of you would get a kick out of the note

Anyone know what the make and year of this old sled would be?

From what I can find this fella passed away in 1980. This site is amazingly preserved. Most of the old places I've found have been gone through. There is a lot of neat old stuff there still. And it's all still there after I left.

Dad had a couple of those early Polaris sleds. Sno Goes, and think they were called. Motor on the back, hoist. Late 50s, and early 60s I believe. He used them to bring the burbot in for the mink ranch, after lifting the hopp nets through the ice.

Goldberg was a pretty solid marten buyer up here for a LONG time....! That is a blast from the past.

Ah yes Goldberg.... definitely got a kick out of that note.

I sent them a few cross foxes back when I was getting $150 for a cross from Seattle Fur Exchange.
The letter I got back with my check explaining the price was that my foxes were "overprime"!

66' was the year of the Seattle Fur Exchange calendar hanging on the wall Chickenminer. His marten fleshing beam is in the foreground also.

The King Salmon population has rebounded this year, so for the first time in many years FnG has allowed the sale of incidental kings caught in our commercial chum fishery.
The starting price was $6. a lb but jumped to $7.
I got $231. for this 38 lb

Glad to hear it Jeff! Hope you dry a few of those.

We had family in town, and wanted to show them some of what we like to do here in Alaska. We went camping on the Yukon, fished for pike in a blackwater tributary, and even got a bonus cinnamon color blackbear!


Rumors of my assimilation have been greatly exaggerated.
