Driving along the "river" = kuuk"













Driving home from Fairbanks along the river is always a beautiful site no matter what time of year. Of course, this is a very blue-white scene now. The roads were good, not too caked with new snow or terrible ice. No animals to be seen either, except on the way up seeing that cow moose nibbling some willow along the Birch Lake shores.

It's the time of year where everyone checks their vehicle heaters, listening carefully after it is plugged in to see if it's still working. No square tires yet though, warm enough to just warm the vehicle up for a few minutes and off we go without that bumping along the roads on square tires that will probably happen in January/February.

Enjoy the scenery!

Bison and Elk in "interior of Alaska" = "Alaskam qitqani"












Niece, Lisa St. Clair, went out with Scott while he fed the main herd of bison and elk. Getting out at daylight and beating the darkness, the herd of elk and bison are ready.
