How far and how long is that float trip?

Congrats and great post! Thanks

Congrats. Looks like a great adventure

Wow, what a trip! Very interesting post.

It is about 600 miles from Nenana to Saint Mary's on the Tanana and Yukon Rivers I believe. Ruby Marine is who we use to barge our gear down. About forty cents a pound to ship a vehicle if it's in a container, about a dollar a pound if it's not. You save money buying a container, and you get a free shed to boot.

Glad you are getting good use out of it.

To every one who said congratulations on the baby, thanks. We lost our first, Jubal Early is our second and is 9, our third passed away as well, Kezia Jane is my 4 year old baby girl, and Nathan Forrest is 6 months old now. I am blessed with a beautiful wife and healthy children.

Saw these guys in Glenallen, Alaska after we crossed the border back into Alaska from Canada. Any guess who they are? They had just got back to the road system from killing some bears.

Out of all the restaurants I ate at, this one was the best. Got swordfish steak and a pile of sides for $14.00! Big steak too. Miss Myra's BBQ in Birmingham, AL used to be our favorite, but it's went downhill, or either we just hit it on bad days. Never did get around to going to Hog Heaven BBQ in East Brewton, AL.

Alaska Airlines lost my ordination Bible in Seattle when we flew down, I never figured to see it again. A lot of people were praying, and a worker was cleaning the conveyer belts out and found it. His wife looked up Crestview Independent Baptist Church, Crestview, Florida, the church where I was ordained, and they gave her my address. I was surprised when it showed up 6 months after it was lost. Praise God.

A little roughed up, but the Church brand Bibles have real leather covers. Nothing was hurt on the inside. KJV.

(forgive me if I'm stating the obvious and looking like a jerk......)

Pretty sure that's Buck from Tim Wells' show...... (the crazy hair guy). Shoulda asked him to shlock a bumblebee with his blowgun. You'd know for sure!

It is. Anyone know who the other guy is? Hint: he has to do with knives.

Once we flew about 400 miles back to our village from the main road system of Alaska, it was just a matter of time till the next barge from Ruby Marine came in with the truck and other supplies. Got there and unloaded our container about 1 o'clock in the morning ( Notice the sun is still out!), we got our truck out minutes later after unpacking everything on top of, underneath, on each side, and behind it. The whole family was excited to get a nice enclosed vehicle, in stead of having to all pile on a one person ATV. We went down to the village zoo (aka the dump), and the kids got to watch the brown bears for the first time since moving there a few years ago. Our quality of life has already went up due to having an enclosed vehicle! I didn't want to take the down there to see the bears on our Honda Foreman, in case we were charged by a bear.
