My new Favorite Fall Fotos!

Aspen Alley south of Rawlins

The road was really busy, motorcycles, photographers, hunters made it really dusty and hard to get a picture of trees only.

Gold trees everywhere.

Labor Day weekend

All 10 grandkids, all their parents except Jeff came for the weekend...it was so nice!

Jace had his 6th birthday...Amy brought Angry Bird cupcakes, they were a big hit!

                                                   Maddy's reaction to all the shooting.

Finally some hunting pictures! Do not read if you don't like hunting pictures!

The chief's wife in Ft Yukon, AK.  George stayed at her bed and breakfast.  No picture of the room, but very basic like an old time bunkhouse....$70 per person.  She is showing the chiefs jacket he wears at state dinners.

Had to fly 200 miles north from Fairbanks to Ft Yukon, then 300 more to the camp area.

Freeze dried food, bulk packed.  You put 2 cups of boiling water in a ziplock and wait 5 minutes before eating.

Plane taking off in the background.

George's hunting partner, Dave.

They walk over to those mountains, and climb them to find sheep...carrying 60 lb packs on their backs with food, tents, and sleeping bags.

Sore feet, duct tape any sore spot to prevent blisters.

Contemplating tomorrows path.

too small to be a legal ram....they saw lots of these.

These sheep hung around camp, see the tent tip and sheep on the hillside.

Scree, the whole country is just broken rocks that you slip and slide and cut your boots and feet on.

Arctic char coming up Kongakut River to spawn.  10 fish in the first 10 casts.

Snowy morning.

Arctic char and dall sheep...delicious!

Dall Sheep

The way out...had to set down on a riverbed for fog for and hour or so.

Fall came here in mid August.

 

Sorry no pictures

Blogspot is not letting me post pictures, so will hold off til it does.  It has been 28 for a couple of mornings now, so it should be getting all gold and yellow soon!  George has been back for a week now.  He had a great trip and got a nice ram.  No pictures for now.
