| 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. |
