Alaska 2018

[1stimestar]

Okie dokie buddies, here is our 2017 Alaska thread. As you know, anyone certainly is allowed to post here. We have a few members in Alaska but none of them seem quite as chatty as I am...

Pretty cool to have this ongoing thing for it's 5th year. Hope your year is full of fun and adventure!

The Yukon Quest has started. It started in Whitehorse, Yukon Territories this year. I don't go up to the checkpoint until later this week as it will take the mushers that long to reach this end of the trail. I'm a bit nervous leaving the kids with the full house as we keep having troubles with the kitchen sink drain freezing up. I think it is because after living in a dry cabin for so long, conserving water is very much a way of life. Well, a tiny little shot of water here and there freezes up more readily then a whole lot of water at once. We are going to actually have to learn to use water more. But instead of calling the thawing truck to steam it open, at a cost of a minimum $170, my boyfriend and I came up with our own solution. It only took 3 trips to Home Depot for the right tubing that would fit over the pressure cooker steam release valve, yet retain enough strength when hot, and still go around the bends. It took 6 hours because we didn't have the pressure that the steam trucks do, but we got her open! I was so tickled.

Nice thinking on the home steamer.

[hunter63]

That's pretty slick.....Great idea.....
ALL plumbing projects are AT LEAST 3 TRIPS......So, you are good.

Our kitchen has an overhang...and I found out that I shouldn't insulate in the empty spaces on the header joist in the basement.
After a coupe of freeze ups.....took it out and leave sink cupboard doors open when it real cold.

[alaskabushman]

Our shower drain trap kept freezing up. I got tired of crawling under the house with a torch for thaw duty. I picked up a 3' piece if heat tape and an extension cord. Now when it gets cold I just plug in the cord and in 20 minutes I have a ice free drain.

Wonderful things, those heat tapes.....LOL

The shower drain at "The Place" hangs under the floor in an unconditioned space....
Heat tape gets plugged in all the time till I drain down to shut down for the winter......then every thing get antifreeze, heavy dose in traps

[1stimestar]

I'm leaving for the checkpoint. This year we are not able to use the buildings due to a BLM snafu, but was able to get a permit to use the property. So we are going to be in atco trailers. Should be "interesting". We'll manage...somehow. If you are on FB you can join the page as we post a lot of photos there.

My favorite is Matt Hall, son of my friends I go visit every year in Eagle. He is doing really well.

We should have internet soon but setting up a whole new camp wont leave me much time for posting. I'll be there for a week. See you up there.

[crashdive123]

Looking forward to following the progress this year.

[hunter63]

Thanks for the heads up.....Have a good time.

[alaskabushman]

Had a beautiful day yesterday so I decided to cut up a yellow cedar log I fell a few months back. Crisp and clear at 12 degrees.
You can see a bit of ice forming on the bay, it's kept the mail plane from coming in a lot this winter.

My 5-year old asked if she could help me split wood. Who am I to decline free child labor?

She really is a big help and I'm super proud of her. She's quite an Alaskan, pink gloves and all.

[hunter63]

Ain't she cuuuute.....Way to go dad.

[Rick]

12 degree weather?! She's tougher than me!

[DSJohnson]

Good for you. I hope you and she get to spend many, many hours together as she grows up. Treasure those moments. That window goes by in a hurry.

[1stimestar]

What a gorgeous view!

[1stimestar]

I'm back and fairly recovered. I'm not much of a girlie girl but having running water and a bathtub in my new house sure is a nice luxury. Bubble baths are a thing for a reason.

First there was the packing. Setting up a "town" for several hundred people for a week, takes a lot of stuff. Mine wasn't the only vehicle packed to the rim.

https://scontent-sea1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/16708522_10158155646430697_3085002546102828787_n.j pg?oh=d6a2757bece0b00ff98d77e40b23b405&oe=594A25BD

Then there was the setting up the satellite, in a snow storm.

https://scontent-sea1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/16684012_10158155649310697_2830790655783379041_n.j pg?oh=90a6b7d326fa504239404d423c01015b&oe=592D3FDB

https://scontent-sea1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/16684371_10158155649465697_3267078622643924279_n.j pg?oh=da39be1608f365924b4e2655b10fa633&oe=592BF928

Taking a warm up break. Temps were about -39 for set up.

https://scontent-sea1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/16729060_10158157117880697_1018585390847277268_n.j pg?oh=b48b1fb37f106dd36267bc44085bc65b&oe=593453B7

This year we were not allowed to use the cabins. A bit of politics and blm, gold mining operations, and someone retiring...

So we had two atco trailers delivered. Logistics always brings us two sani cans though I always request three. They were dropped off and they tried to level them. But in the storm we were having, I can't tell you the slight feeling of terror as they wiggled and wobbled in the wind. My assistant checkpoint manager shimmed them up for a more steady ride. These are the kind of details people don't think about until they are sitting there hoping the dang thing doesn't blow over!

https://scontent-sea1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/16729142_10158157117135697_2872222439879324385_n.j pg?oh=0fc5c5cbaf0cd305aed7e2cc888403a4&oe=593A322D

Since we were going to be there for Valentine's Day, some of the girls got crafty and made some signs to put out on the trail. Mile 101 Checkpoint is famous for feeding every one bacon. We go through 60 lbs in a week. So many of the signs are bacon inspired.

https://scontent-sea1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/16711606_10158165537310697_3411429200231287540_n.j pg?oh=ef5e00f3ac9d6029a9d0be402d4e0282&oe=5930102C

Part two, coming up.

[hunter63]

That does look like fun......good to see you back.

[1stimestar]

One team parked and resting, one team blowing through.

https://scontent-sea1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/16730485_10158178235660697_1929410046484867447_n.j pg?oh=0eb9a3f5a0a18581ccf46f3665ae9f0a&oe=594BACB4

Kind of funny story. There was a very famous musher in the checkpoint and some tourist, Facebook friends of mine made the three hour drive out to the checkpoint to meet me. I was inside sitting next to famous musher when someone stuck their head in the door asking if I was in there, there were people looking to meet me in person. Lol I felt pretty famous myself when they don't ask to meet the musher but me, especially if you knew of this mushers famous ego!

https://scontent-sea1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/16730422_10158172180505697_694628661590272636_n.jp g?oh=ee43d4f755a6c28dcadefcb0d618351c&oe=5945B69A

Since we couldn't use the cabins, we had two atco trailers. One was the cook shack and one was communications and crew sleeping. We had to sleep in shifts a bit. The trail crew, snow machiners who are stationed at the checkpoint in case of emergency, set up their own arctic oven tents. We had a small one for the checkers and a very large one for the mushers to sleep in. That one blew down the first day and ripped in the wind. We had a second one delivered though. I didn't get a picture of those it seems but here are the ones belonging to the trail crew, heated with little wood stoves.

https://scontent-sea1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/16649041_1816594485229763_3344917250839890972_n.jp g?oh=f3100db3722682cd8825e095f59aae94&oe=593CCED8

They do indeed and by about day 4 we were at critical mass. Called logistics to see if we could get another one. They said they would check at Central, the nearest town with a checkpoint and bring one of their least used. Yuck. Luckily my boyfriend earned some mega brownie points and squished it all down and spread it out so it would no longer be a poopsicle. Serious extra brownie points....

[1stimestar]

After a week of no showers and very little sleep; after all the mushers, race officials, vets, and media have left, we sit to have a couple beers and debrief.

Stories from Checkpoint Mile 101.

Cooks, one of whom was the daughter of one of our trail crew. Trail crew are snowmachiners (snowmobilers to you lower 48ers) are there to put in trail after a blizzard, in case of emergency, and to do the trail sweep. The trail sweepers pull up the stakes that mark the trail and pick up any dog booties that are left on the trail.

Frozen Yoga, or Stories from the checkpoint, part two.

This guy showed up in the middle of the story telling. He had tried to get over Eagle Summit but the road was closed so he spent the night. We had just had another blizzard.

He brought beer...

So stinking proud of my bad azz daughter. She's 15 now and has been doing derby for 4 years. This was her last bout of the season. She is Kiki Kapow, number 101 (number sound familiar?). Here is a video of her. She is a blocker. The blocker's job is to keep the opposing team's jammer (the one with a star on her helmet) from getting through the pack. She's the one with the solid blue helmet. You can't use your hands...

[Tokwan]

I wonder how I would fare in Alaska, even when I am fit and ready...maybe they will find me 3000 years later and call me the iceman? or I would be able to survive...its totallyu the opposite of where I am...and looks good.....!!!!! You're lucky Star.

[1stimestar]

Lucky yep. Guess that means it is time to get dressed and go try to shovel my truck out. Got off "the trail" which is the hard packed part of my driveway and sunk...

[alaskabushman]

Went out in the skiff today, walked a beach about 20 miles from my town. Saw these fresh tracks on the beach. This is certainly not a dog track, no dwellings for miles and miles. Pretty good sized wolf.

The track above it is a deer track.

[1stimestar]

Oh nice find. Yea that's a big ol' wolf.

[1stimestar]

Today Daniel and I will bring "the shed" out to his homestead. It starts with a 150 mile drive to Manley Hot Springs, then load the snow machines (he has a big freighter and a smaller Polaris) down the Tanana River and up the Cosna River for 3-4 hours. 4500 lbs of building materiel. Should take us 3 trips between Manely and the place. We can only do two trips in the time we have this weekend because I have to be back by Monday morning. The main problem is, break up has arrived as of yesterday. It was in the mid 40's and things are melting fast. Most of that trip is on river trails. Hope they remain frozen!!!!!!!

https://scontent-sea1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/17757659_10158397917400697_3682107252175034000_n.j pg?oh=4701fe1dfb9b19806c28276e16d08053&oe=595C5993

We will be staying in this "shed" when we go out to the place (has an airstrip for summer) until next winter when we plan to freight out materiel for a whole cabin.
64.644573, -151.803353

[alaskabushman]

Sounds like quite the process! Good luck and stay safe.

People sometimes don't understand the work Alaskans can put into building. When I built my house I purchased a small lot on the side of a hill. There was no way do gat a driveway to the build site. I packed every single board, sheet of plywood, bag of cement and box of nails up the hill on my back.

That sounds easy compared to what you guys are working on...

[hunter63]

I see you are calling your place "The Place"....that's how ours got started....as in
"Are you going to your Place this week end..."
And it stuck.

Looks like a good start on the hauling....can't even imagine all that....Our whole cabin came by truck....LOL

I had to have a hole excavated in the side of the hill for our "Place"....but it was because I liked that spot....

Felt "Mystically Correct" ....conforms to feng shui alignments....(you believe that?...LOL makes a good story)
But was more an accident than planning...of course a few mystic brewski's were consumed...

Looking forward to following the build....

[crashdive123]

Excellent. Looking forward to following your progress.

[Grizz123]

Looking good!!

If you guys ever make it down to the Kenai area look me up, maybe we can get lunch or something

[kyratshooter]

OK guys that message was dated 4/1 and it is now 4/4 and no follow up.

I hope they did not fall through the ice!

Anybody got 1TS work phone number?

[1stimestar]

He made the last load in yesterday. Stayed the night out there to let the trail harden back up overnight. I had to come back to work yesterday so our friend out in Manley was going to go with him. He ended up going by himself, crazy boy. So I am not posting any pictures or anything until I hear he made it back to Manley safely. Hopefully here in a few hours.

[1stimestar]

Looking good!!

If you guys ever make it down to the Kenai area look me up, maybe we can get lunch or something

Would love that. Maybe we can get Akbushman in on it too.

[alaskabushman]

Would love that. Maybe we can get Akbushman in on it too.

Haha, that'd be fun! I enjoy visiting the Kenai, beautiful place. I spent a year in Seward. Unfortunately I don't make it up there very often, Seattle is actually closer to me...I do have relatives in Soldotna though, so its not impossible...

[1stimestar]

First 150 mile drive to Manley Hot Springs, then a 6 hour snow machine ride to the Cosna. Rinse, repeat.

My dear friend Sarah, where we were staging the supplies.

Deep Creek. The first time was scary, the other times were fun. On the last trip, I stayed on this side to video Daniel going up it. I seriously could not walk up that. Had to crawl. It was funny.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rtEq_N6KsU

After almost 90 miles, I had been beat up enough on my smaller machine. I had what's called throttle thumb as the tension on the throttle was so stiff. I couldn't go as fast as we needed to and still remain on the trail. Daniel's sled is a brand new freighter. Mine is just a rough, wobbly ping pong ball. So on the return trip, we just loaded it up.

https://scontent-sea1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/17798955_10158427545680697_4454478252988563277_n.j pg?oh=45959c4c5e4d6d057f5d8bc20397995f&oe=598D2038

Anyways, we did it. The supplies are up there. Building will happen this summer.

[hunter63]

That's looks like a "trip"....lots of work...
Thanks for bringing us along.....

[crashdive123]

Awesome! Lots of work, but lots of reward at the end.

[Rick]

Man, you folks are amazing! I was worn out just looking at the pictures.

Fairbanks has reached a major summer milepost: it won't be truly dark again for more than two months.

The Interior Alaska city has entered its annual string of 72 days where the sun just barely dips below the horizon at night, leaving a lingering glow known as civil twilight.

Civil twilight means the sun travels no more than 6 degrees below the horizon, said Brian Brettschneider, a climate researcher at the University of Alaska Fairbanks International Arctic Research Center.


"It's usable twilight," Brettschneider said, meaning people can take part in outdoor activities without needing additional light.

Civil twilight began Tuesday at 1:53 a.m., according to the U.S. Naval Observatory. The city won't see civil twilight end again until July 27 at 1:40 a.m.

Sitting about 100 miles south of the Arctic Circle, Fairbanks doesn't technically get 24 hours of sunlight, Brettschneider said, but civil twilight can make it feel like it does.

On June 21, the longest day of summer, the sun sets in Fairbanks at 12:47 a.m., and rises at 2:59 a.m.

I'm back from Chickenstock. Unfortunately, I didn't get to go see my buddies on the Yukon as we were flying and the weather was crap.

We had all of camping stuff. Me and Olivia, Daniel, Jim and Morgan, and Roger all camped together. It was a great camp set up. Since all of them flew up, we were the support gear to haul all the heavy stuff. Morgan drove my vehicle and kiddo back while I got to fly with Daniel.

Unfortunately, this trip made me realize that Daniel and I were not meant to be. Kind of last nail in the coffin. So after a full year, I am once again single.

Next weekend I am finally having a housewarming party for Summer Solstice. Lots of jamming and fun to be had there to keep me busy.

Apparently I have some mentors. A couple that are old time jam members in the jam that I have been going to every Sunday. I had to quite violin lessons because after 5 years, I just can't afford them until my car is paid off. Mortgage you know. Anyways, they sponsored me for two classes in the Summer Arts Festival which is two weeks of all kinds of arts classes done here every year at the University. So I am taking an Irish fiddle class and a Norwegian fiddle class.

That's my update for now.

BREAKING: Teen dies after being mauled by bear


By Beth Verge | Posted: Sun 5:32 PM, Jun 18, 2017 | Updated: Sun 9:33 PM, Jun 18, 2017

ANCHORAGE (KTUU) - A parent's worst nightmare came to life this Father's Day when a teen running an annual trail race was fatally mauled by a bear near Bird Creek.

Law enforcement officials and fellow competitors said a 16-year-old boy was participating in the Robert Spurr Memorial Hill Climb at Bird Ridge, which was being run for the 29th year straight.

Dozens of runners, including the teen, toed the starting line that morning. The mountain race begins at the start of Bird Creek Trail, and meanders through heavily wooded terrain. As for the ascent, that's a 3,400-foot vertical climb that spans three miles for adult racers and half that for juniors, those who are 17 and younger taking on the mountain.

Challenging terrain, but in those three decades, many said the territory had never proven to be a big problem.

That all changed shortly after noon Sunday.

"I've been running in the mountains for 30 years," said Brad Precosky, a director of the race. "People come down off the trail and say they've run into a bear. Sometimes that means nothing; other times, it's really serious. Like this."

The teenager reportedly sent a text message to his mother during the race, sometime around 12:30, saying he was being chased by a bear.

"The mother was here with her family, her children," said Anchorage Police Dept. Sgt. Nathan Mitchell. "They were running the race."

Precosky said the teen's fellow competitors had lost him in thick brush. When one came barreling down the trail saying there had been an attack, he said, the entire race crew went into crisis mode.

Other runners, most of whom who had completed the race already, immediately volunteered to be part of the search for the boy. They returned - weaponless - to the trail.

"There were probably a dozen mountain runners up there keeping the bear on its toes," Precosky said.

One of the runners said he saw a bear circling the teen somewhere off the beaten path.

John Weddleton, who didn't win a lottery spot for the race this year but attended to cheer his fellow runners on, was first to find the boy after the attack.

"I ran up to cheer, came down, and thought, I might as well go back up," he said. "All I knew was there was a boy missing, and missing in bear country."

He was on his own after splitting off from the main search party when he heard the rustle of a bear.

"I heard something above me and thought, maybe that's him," Weddleton said. "The bear came by me, maybe about 10 feet away, and then I saw him. No motion. He looked awful."

The police department received a call reporting the mauling around 3 p.m. Sunday afternoon.

"We didn't have a whole lot of info initially," Mitchell said, "so we started sending assets. It sounded like park rangers were ahead of us, but they didn't have any long guns.

"There really wasn't much here when we arrived," he said. "Just people pointing up at the trail."

APD, the Anchorage Fire Dept., Alaska State Troopers, the National Guard, and park rangers were all part of the search.

"We got word that it didn't look good when we got eyes on the bear around 2:30," Precosky said. "This is not - it's not something I want to see."

What was described by police as "a large black bear" that attacked the boy wasn't the only one in the area Sunday afternoon. Runners reported seeing multiple bears while along the trail during the race.

"There was a brown bear sighting, there was a black bear with cubs sighting," Precosky said. "We didn't know which was which."

After an extended search, the boy was eventually located off the main trail, about a mile up the path at about 1500 vertical feet.

"The terrain was really, really rugged," Mitchell said, "to the point where we only sent down a team of six. The officers went down, very guarded, and located the victim."

Mitchell said the teen was pronounced dead at the scene, and the body was airlifted out of the area.

"How do you respond as a parent when you hear news like that?" he said. "It's devastating. It's tough."

As family and the community mourn, for now, that bear continues to wander the trails, which remained closed as of Sunday night.

"Pray for that family," Weddleton said.

POGO MINE, Alaska – Pogo Mine company officials have confirmed a fatal bear attack on a contract employee this morning.

The incident has been reported to the Mine Safety & Health Administration and to the Alaska State Troopers. The mine is cooperating with the appropriate agencies to investigate.


Pogo is an underground gold mine 38 miles northeast of Delta Junction in the Goodpaster River valley. It is owned and operated by Sumitomo Metal Mining Pogo LLC. The mine operates year-round, with about 350 full-time and 150 contract employees. Employees live on-site for multi-day shifts in a camp environment.

It is the second fatal bear attack in two days in Alaska. On Sunday, a 16-year-old runner participating in a race on a mountain ridge southeast of Anchorage was fatally mauled by a black bear.


No further details are available at this time.

River Mike has lived in a tent camp in remote interior Alaska for 20+ years, after an encounter with a black bear coupled with his failing health Mike decided to re join society. My son and I were part of the effort to extract Mike and his camp. My son shot this video while he walked us through the event. This is not the entire video due as it was sent to me via text. I think i have some other clips and a lot of pictures i will upload if this draws any interest. I found Mike absolutely entertaining and the environment he lived in astounding. We had to take an airboat up river, then wade through a channel to a slough where we paddled a canoe to a trail and hiked about a half mile to his camp. There is no road access at all

‘I can’t exaggerate how fast this was’: 2 injured in separate brown bear attacks Saturday

On Saturday morning, James Fredrick and his friend Alex Ippoliti were biking down a well-used gravel road on military land near Clunie Lake in Eagle River when they heard a rustling in the bushes.

The two friends were already hyper-aware after two fatal, predatory black bear attacks last week that have set Alaskans on edge.

"With all the things that had been going on, I made sure I had my bear bell on and bear spray with me," said Ippoliti, who lives in Eagle River.

What happened next came so fast that Fredrick, who lives in Anchorage, is still turning it over in his mind from the hospital bed where he is recovering from being attacked by a brown bear. It was one of two brown bear maulings in Southcentral Alaska Saturday.

Fredrick says his friend saved his life.

Shortly after they heard the rustling sound, a brown bear emerged from the woods and ran "20-30 yards" toward them, Ippoliti said. Suddenly, the bear was on Fredrick, pulling him from his bike.

"I immediately just started yelling 'help,' " Fredrick said in a phone interview from his hospital bed Sunday. "I can't exaggerate how fast this was. I don't think it lasted more than 7 or 8 seconds."

While the bear was biting and clawing him, Fredrick remembers thinking that he should try to get the bike between himself and the animal.

Ippoliti was able to get bear spray out, he said.

When the bear left Fredrick and turned toward him, Ippoliti "emptied an entire tank" of spray on it, driving it back into the woods.

Fredrick said he didn't have bear spray with him, and will be forever thankful his friend did and was able to use it.

"Alex straight up saved my life," Fredrick said Sunday. "I'd be dead right now without Alex."

Next, Ippoliti took his shirt off "for a tourniquet and asked me to hold it on my neck while he stood there, yelling at the bear," Fredrick said.

It wasn't until after the bear had gone that the men noticed a cub in the tree above. They had not seen it before the attack, Ippoliti said.

After that things get fuzzy for Fredrick.

"I was losing a lot of blood," he said.

The two walked away from the site of the attack, maybe about a quarter of a mile down the road, both said. They called for help and were picked up by medics.

Fredrick said he sustained major lacerations to his neck and lost part of his bicep muscle in the attack. A doctor told him the neck wound was so close to his carotid artery that it was visible from the wound itself, he said. He also had to get stitches on his eyebrow and nose.

Fredrick says the fatal maulings of last week were heavy on his mind even before Saturday. He never imagined this summer's succession of bear attacks would include him, but he doesn't attribute it to anything other than being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

"I just completely think it's coincidence. I can't in any way rack it up to anything else."

Fredrick said that he's recovering from the shock of the event.

"In the emergency room, I was like, I'll never be able to go in the woods again," he said.

Just one day later, he doesn't think that's true.

Alaska Department of Fish and Game spokesman Ken Marsh said biologists are investigating the mauling. Based on initial information, they don't consider it a predatory attack but a "defensive attack" by a brown bear.

"It sounds like the sow did what brown bears often do when they perceive a threat," he said.

2 brown bear attacks in 1 day

The second attack happened Saturday evening, on a road outside of Hope, a small Turnagain Arm community. Troopers were called to a reported bear attack at 11:40 p.m., according to an online dispatch posted by the agency Sunday.

Joshua Brekken, 45, was "walking on Palmer Creek Road when he came across a sow brown bear and cub," troopers wrote.

Palmer Creek Road is a 12-mile gravel road that climbs from the Hope highway area near Turnagain Arm to a high valley.

Brekken was "getting some firewood for his cabin out in the area," Marsh said. "He and his dog were walking on a trail out back of a cabin when he looked up and saw a brown bear in front of him."

The bear was about 30 yards away when it charged, troopers wrote. The man tried to climb a tree, but the bear "swatted him out of the tree and injured him" before taking off into the woods with the cub, according to troopers.

Brekken sustained "minor injuries" and went to the hospital on his own, troopers wrote.

Marsh said the two bear attacks this weekend differ in important ways from the fatal maulings of a young runner and a biologist working at a remote mine last week.

"There are two distinctive types of attacks — one that's more troubling than another."



The Pogo Mine and Bird Ridge maulings both appear to have been predatory attacks by black bears, Marsh said, which are "extremely troubling and very, very rare." Biologists are still trying to understand the circumstances of those attacks, which happened within 48 hours of each other.

This weekend's encounters were both what biologists call "defensive" attacks. That's when a surprised brown bear with cubs lashes out to "neutralize" what they see as a threat to their offspring, Marsh said.

For those wondering what's behind the string of four human-bear encounters — including two deaths — in the space of a week, Marsh does not have answers.

"There's no denying we've had a high number of attacks in a very short span of time. I've talked to a couple biologists about this and the answer is — nobody really knows why yet."

Thought does occur to me......
Why run off to the wilderness, in Alaska with just your Bigazz knife.....
.....or do y'all just invite these guys as bait?.....LOL

I know exactly how that would play out for me.

Me: Screaming like a school girl.
Bear: "Would you stop?!"
Me: "Are you going to eat me?"
Bear: "Not with you screaming like that!"
Me: Screaming like a school girl.

Bear country survival skill: Build a scarecrow...um, scarebear. Get a bunch of brush and stuff, and make it in the shape of a big creature about 20 feet high, arms outstretched, face painted so a bear will recognize it as such. Have it ready to raise up in the air while growling real mean-like.

Whew summers are our busy time of year. So much to do, so little time. About the time deep exhaustion sets in, winter comes. That's the time to rest. Here's what's been going on.

My FULL fuel tank decided whoever placed it directly on the ground was an idiot. We have been having lots of rain and the ground was soft but I can't believe I didn't catch it before that it had no foundation underneath it.

One of my nieces and her best friend came to visit. It was very nice having them here. I hadn't seen her since she was a toddler as my sister took her kids and disappeared for 20 years. This niece left home at 16, lived with a friend and her family, finished high school, put herself through college and just finished her first year as a special education teacher in Arizona. So proud of her for getting out of the life my sister leads. Hers was the first birth I attended and what set me on the path to becoming a doula.

My small starter garden is producing beautiful peas and these are the first two green beans. I have one tomato ripening so far out of the many on the branches, yay!

These are going in my dinner tonight.

Every year UAF holds its Fairbanks Summer Arts Festival where they bring in all sorts of arts related teachers from all over the world for a 2 week series of classes. All sorts of music, song writing, cooking, dancing, story telling etc. Some ladies from my Sunday jam sessions sponsored me for two classes so I took a Celtic Fiddle class and a Norwegian Fiddle class. The Norwegian class was very interesting but didn't really compare to my first love of Celtic music.

And of course, every Sunday at The Golden Eagle Saloon in beautiful, downtown Ester, Alaska.

Shoot, thought I was almost done but forgot to tell you about my brakes going out. Not wearing out. Going out as in "OH CRAP!" Caliper and something else broke, peddle to the floor. Luckily I was in a parking lot and going slow. With the tow it was almost $500 that I didn't have. So I had a henna fundraiser and made almost the full amount. Close enough that I could still pay my mortgage anyways.

Plus I got a commission to do a couple of skulls. That's going to be fun.

Good to see you back....Look like fun was had by all..........

I guess it would be hard to pack a whole summer worth of fun....in 4 days.

Lol just about everyone brought a case or so, so there was beer left. I had that tote and my big ice chest full and it still all didn't fit. And no one seemed interested in taking their back.

Tough job...someone has to do it.....You need to bear down.

Had a friend that was moving out of state....Had a "Come over a drink up all the booze" party.....
We had to make a beer run later in the evening(morning?).....
Good party....

Let's talk bones. I have been commissioned to henna some animal skulls. Problem is, they are still fresh as in, one still has hair on it. I've been told not to boil them because the teeth will fall out and she wants the teeth in them. Someone recommended I soak them in a septic tank solution such as Rid X. Have any suggestions or experience? We don't have any ant hills to put them on and winter is coming on fast.

[crashdive123]

I have always let them sit out in the weather. The maggots and time clean them pretty well. Assuming you won't have that kind of time, I found this - hope it helps.

I do skulls for people occasionally, I boil them with some dish soap (or oxyxclean if you can get it) for a couple hours. I then scrape any leftover flesh off the skull with a junk knife. If any teeth fall out a little superglue fixes that. Then I coat the entire skull with 40 volume cream for hair salons. Its a peroxide solution that bleaches the skull to a nice white (wear gloves!!!), let it soak for 24 hours and rinse. It should be a nice clean white color.

Winter is coming. Let's hope it's not a nuclear one.

Way to go Mom......Looks like y'all are get out there.

[kyratshooter]

Got the parenting thing down you think???

Just wait until she turns 30 and tells you about all the stuff she did that you did not know about!

[1stimestar]

Hahha that was me. But she is a good kid with a good head on her shoulders. Obviously that doesn't mean she isn't going to do stupid sh**. We'll just have to hope she doesn't do something REALLY stupid that has life changing consequences.

[kyratshooter]

I was a single parent too and it can be rough, especially at the age your two are. Grown but still your babies.

I remember sitting down on my daughter's 18th birthday and realizing that I had gotten both of them to legal adulthood without burying either of them or visiting them in prison, and I was not yet a grand-dad!

I had not done everything right, but I had done something right, maybe just enough.

That was a good day.

[Rick]

That, my friend, is better than winning the lottery twice.

[1stimestar]

My son has Asperger's so is not as active (and not the social creature my daughter and I are) and absolutely hates to have his picture taken, so most of the time I don't take his picture. He is 19. He doesn't drink, smoke, lie, cheat or steal, not out getting anyone pregnant, is working on his GED and does his chores most of the time with out reminding. I'm good with that.

[Rick]

Well, yeah.

Kinda of the same way we looked at it...

When DD reached 21, graduated from high school and asst degree...gainfully employed, bought and paid for her first new car and insurance....as well no drugs, failed marriages yet, babies, arrest record....and still spoke to us.
Even became a neatnik after the big spider incident....(long story)

Had survived years of Rondys, shooting throwing hawks and knives.....good open fire camp cooking and camping many different ways.
Still holds the record time in the Frieson Mud Pit Runs...

Turned out pretty well.....She's 44 now....

Hang in there, MOM you are doing something right.

[kyratshooter]

He is 19. He doesn't drink, smoke, lie, cheat or steal, not out getting anyone pregnant, is working on his GED and does his chores most of the time with out reminding. I'm good with that.

Tell your son to keep working on that GED. My son was home schooled and at that time the way a home schooled kid got a diploma in my state was to pass the GED.

My son is now 40 and based on his GED he got a degree and is an archaeologist. Now working on his Masters.

The daughter is 38, mother of 4. Her oldest is 18 and started college this fall.

Sometimes it works out.

So the bear hunt that I was supposed to go on with my friend Susan Aikens up at Kavik River Camp a few years ago but was postponed due to her major snowmachine accident? It's finally back on. I leave on Thursday.

She got this one about a week and a half ago.

Happy Thanksgiving buddies. Hope you all had a good one. This was the first one in the house. I have no idea how I used to fit 11 people in my 700 sq. ft. cabin because I could barely fit 12 in my 1500 sq. ft. house. But it was a great day filled with friends who are family, food, music, Cards Against Humanity (an adult card game) and pies. Sooo many pies!

Trying to keep things warm.

Excellent. Looks like a great time. Happy Thanksgiving.

[hunter63]

Happy Thanksgiving.....I love a food and dog story.

[1stimestar]

As a roller derby girl, I've never even ice skated. This video shows some awesome back country ice skating here in Alaska. Lots of gorgeous scenery.

[Rick]

My wife and I used to skate back in the day. In fact, the kids were talking about their mom's skates over Thanksgiving. I have never heard of or thought of 'wild ice'. If she were still alive and we were 20 somethings again that would be on our list for sure. Thanks for sharing that. It brought back some really great memories and a couple of tears!!

[crashdive123]

That's just awesome.

[hunter63]

What up with the bullets holes?....must have been a good party....
Oh wait...Y'all are in Alaska....and take you fun serious.

[1stimestar]

Ugh, I've been sick. Too sick. On the mend but I now have a smoking quit date of March 1st. I'm posting it here because I am counting on everyone I know to help hold me accountable. I have tried many times and every method, literally, with limited and then ultimately no success. This time I am using a program and a doctor with a 50% success rate and Chantix, and probably will throw in some hypnotherapy to be able to withstand the terrible nausea that the Chantix causes.

I'll use the time before March 1 to start cutting back. And frankly there is no way for me to be successful until our daylight gets back to a bit happier level and I can get outside more to distract myself.

Happy Solstice!

[crashdive123]

Good luck with quitting. I, like many others have done it. I know that you can too.

[Rick]

Every one that you light up between now and then tell yourself "this is the one that is going to kill me". By the time March 1 rolls around you will be so sick of them that quitting will be easy. I went through the same thing and finally starting telling myself that and the day I finally quit I never looked back. I assimilated myself into the roll.

[hunter63]

A triple by-pass convinced me....I don't want anyone to hurt me like that again....so I not gonna let them....I quit.....hurt too much to cough.

Was like giving my self a $5200 buck a year raise.

Hang in there ......you CAN do it.

[1stimestar]

Thanks guys.

Here's a video of the sun rising and setting yesterday. Less then 4 hours of sunlight. But today we gained 6 seconds!

That's about a month (different estimates) to get all the nicotine out of the system.
But that a Loooog time to change your lifestyle...

Smokers live their life around smoking whether we know it or not ...different friends, smoke breaks, have a drink, finish eating....complete a task...stop to gather thoughts, calm down, driving when a tough spot is passed,.. just before bed, first thing the morning....just about everything you do......needs to change.

Even the trip to the gas station and seeing the cutie behind the counter.....and making a smoke run late or early...don't ant to run out....

I can be riding with a person that is smoking...no problem/Nada.....But......finish a task...or a meal...or beer....you reach for a smoke.

Quitting was the 2nd toughest thing I ever did......2 best thing I ever did.

[1stimestar]

Well since I am still sick here over a month later, I may not be able to wait for March. I just don't know how successful I will be trying to do it in the dark. I've got another call in to the dr.

[1stimestar]

Rick, you mail box is full. I'm glad you enjoyed the gifts. I love sharing Alaska. Next year I will have my very own canned smoked salmon!

Crash, the knife is so gorgeous! And red is my favorite color. Just what I was hoping for lol. Thank you so much.

[Rick]

OOps. Thanks for the heads up. All better now.

[crashdive123]

Glad you liked the knife.

[1stimestar]

Whew, well one more year of being the Checkpoint Manager for the Yukon Quest. Here are some quick pictures and videos. I have a dr. appointment next Thurs. to get my Chantix. Don't have a quit date set yet though but I'll set one after I get "the drugs".

We are no long able to use the old cabins so we have these industrial trailers called Atcos that we use. Had a little jam session and crew party the night before go time.

https://scontent-sea1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/27972725_10214066872839467_7469761160205580800_n.j pg?oh=8923e38c316e30fe9e3388a8a12b335d&oe=5B06E47A

The cook shack. We went through 400 cups of coffee in an 8 hour period. I love how the humidity inside freezes in a mist as the door is opened.

Since this year the mushers started in Fairbanks, by the time they get to the checkpoint they are still pretty bunched up. So it is 36 hours of solid go go go. Mushers, handlers, veterinarians, race officials, media, fans... We feed them all. Went through 60 lbs of bacon in those hours.
https://scontent-sea1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/27751701_10204538508818006_6252133244460044532_n.j pg?oh=f20953df96663efa80ab17ee1003dc91&oe=5B19B172

We had these two pans and one full crock pot of soup.
https://scontent-sea1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/27867002_10204538509698028_6311761940351792428_n.j pg?oh=228a3223d579dc8b6b480bc3d0cdf2a7&oe=5B20F030

The mushers have a mandatory 4 hour layover either in our checkpoint or the next one. Here is their sleeping tent with an oil drip stove to keep it cozy.

https://scontent-sea1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/27857939_10204538510058037_4517688684938277043_n.j pg?oh=9932af9d84f7758aa96af999da044588&oe=5B137B8E

After it all begins, you just get a nap when and where you can.
https://scontent-sea1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/27750232_10204538564659402_5880185572211019532_n.j pg?oh=b172789e0fe9d462098fa1199da48da8&oe=5B152B05

I'd like to share this. It was written by out previous checkpoint manager and he kindly posted it on the Mile 101 facebook page. Our goal really is to engage the fans, but there is a LOT of behind the scene work to do and we didn't have much time for posting to Facebook.


Where are all the posts from Mile 101 when the dogs hit the checkpoint, you ask ?
Well,... here is the answer:
First of all, Saturday was a work day. Get the dog lot laid out, string cables from the generators, put up lighting, cut firewood, put up signs, feed the trail breakers coming in in front of the teams, shuffle gear and food, get the right procedures for communication headquarters in Fairbanks ok'd.....
.... and have the crew sit down for a good evening meal before the dogs will hit the checkpoint around 5 am Sunday.
Crawl into your sleeping bag at 9 pm.
A perfect plan. Yep, .... ready for the dogs, every done. Good night after a hard days work.
-
Well, not so quick...
First of all, handlers arrive through the night and want to talk. Not to mention people from Circle and people who live around the area.
That lasts until maybe midnight and you realize that the 9pm curfew was a bit of a dream. But then you go to bed....
Not so fast, because around 1 am the first veterinarians arrive to get a good nights sleep also.
After that it's the race judges who want to set up at 2 am. They will just take a snack, need a few passwords for the internet and a look at the doglot.
Yawn, .... here finally goes the newly revised 'we'll go to sleep at 1 am' plan.
But what the heck, there should be at least 4 hours left before the first musher comes.
Not so fast with wishful thinking.
At 4 am, the official Yukon Quest media team arrives, and you better clear tables for them. Badges and all, those boys and girls demand attention... and usually shut down the internet for everybody except race judges, veterinarians and themselves. Pretty cocky but probably rightfully so ? (please note, that I added a question mark :) )
Now it's 5:00 am and everybody seems settled. Hardly any sleep.
Where the heck did the night go ?
What happened to hitting the sack at 9 pm ....yesterday it was,... right ?
With blearly eyes you now look at the tracker map:
The first musher is 10 miles out and 40 others are following on the tracking map, getting ever closer.
On a computer screen it looks like an invasion force.
At this time you begin to realize that whatever careful planning there ever was for sleep didn't quite work out.
But it's the dogs and mushers you did all this for. You're into the third cup of coffee already, checking the fuel in the generator before grabbing the time tables mushers have to sign upon arrival.
You keep up communication with headquarters, cook, park dogs, keep dogwater heated and... do your job.
Sleep is a wonderful thing, but sometimes it just doesn't happen.
I guess that goes for mushers too... :)
---
By the way...
The first internet connection between Mile 101 and the rest of the world was first established in 2002, when two of our gang (Brad Brooks and Kevin Abnett) connected us to the rest of the internet.
They did it privately. Not necessarily legal...
I still remember Brad Books sitting in the drafty musher cabin of the old Mile101 dogdrop that year, swearing silently at his freezing computer screen: "Someone please throw more wood in that stove. I almost got it.... "
There were a lot of high-fives afterwards. :)
-----
Those days of private enterprise are long gone, and most all remote internet along the trail is ruled by YQ now.
So if Com-Manager Nate, the crew of 101 and others find no time to get out messages when you want them most, it's not there fault.
Official rules have been established .... and work is calling them.
Dogs and mushers first !
Hats off to all of them.

[Phaedrus]

Very cool stuff!

Wow! They all look happy - oh, yeah. The food.

[crashdive123]

Most excellent.

Well looking back over this thread, not sure what happened to all my pictures. But here's one more. Look what I got. Dating since November. Survived the winter.

Aw dang it. Seems I forgot to make a 2018 thread and just kept happily posting on this 2017 one. Oh well. Just going to go with it. 4 weeks a non smoker here. Saving up my money to go to Ireland.

[crashdive123]

Woo Hoo. Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

awesome, congrats!!

Day 51 of no cigs except the couple I bummed in the beginning.

Boyfriend Tim is moving in this summer after he sells his house. We are turning the enclosed back porch into a master bedroom since he has custody of his 6 year old grandson. Ugh, I was almost done! My kids are now 16 and 19. Hopefully his mom gets her stuff together and can have him back, but if not, guess I am a grammy raising her grandkid like is actually fairly common. Want to see the progression of the building process? We are doing most of it ourselves.

Can a moderator change the title to this thread to 2017 and 2018?

Oh yea, also went camping at Harding Lake this weekend. Being so close to home, I have never gone there lol.

Road trip selfies, camping here we come. She has to miss Chickenstock this year due to summer school. Mostly A grades, a couple of Bs, and an F in Biology of all things. Ugh.

I really have to start taking my real cameras out again and quit relying on my cell phone. There really is a difference.

[Rick]

Titled Changed!!! Pictures worth a thousand words. Awesome sauce. (There are pink hearts floating around your car and a photo bomber lurking in the woods.)

[crashdive123]

Great pics regardless of the camera you used.

[1stimestar]

Whew whirlwind summer going on here. Playing music, skating with roller derby, camping, oh yea, building on a new master bedroom for when boyfriend gets his house sold and he and his grandson move in (he has custody of him). It's the crazy business of summer where there are so many things to frantically do that makes us look forward to the slower pace of winter.

Hence, your signature as to why you live in Alaska. Great pictures. It is a land of giants.

[WolfVanZandt]

Beautiful land. I've heard that ya'll are getting some heat with a capital "H" this year.

[1stimestar]

Oh my goodness yes! You know none of us have AC, not really needed for more then a day or two of comfort. It was almost 100 for several days now.

[LowKey]

100° in Alaska is just plain wrong.

[Solar Geek]

Wow what great pictures! It sounds like your life is blooming and happiness and good things. Sorry I've been so absent from this forum, but I lurk and look at things late at night.

Congrats on everything and you look fabulous! Just like you are so happy and it's radiating from you.

That would be embarrassing to accidentally activate it and be rescued while at home. Yeah, that would be embarrassing. Best to leave it off.
