Day #7

It's Thursday and so far.. so good. We are tough, we are strong, we are YOOPERS!!! We are still surviving with no water. Our fearless leader, Jeannie, was supposed to leave Tuesday night to fly to Anchorage but was unable to leave because no small planes were able to fly into Anchorage due to the volcanic ash from St. Augustine volcano. She was able to fly out yesterday, however, she called me when they landed in Stebbins, 9 miles away. I had to take the suburban over because she had forgotten her camera and Lucy forgot her snowpants. They were having a short layover, as the plane had flat tire. Personally I think I may have walked back to St. Michael.... Seems to me she had two strikes... don't know if I'd be willing to see about that third. She did make it safe and sound.

These are some pictures I took on the road back from Stebbins. It really is beautiful country.


This picture shows the frozen Norton Sound. The Sound is to the North of our island.

The above picture is of Stephen Hill, which is an extinct volcano.


This picture is just of the snow covered tundra. You can see many of the winter trails used for hunting and getting to the canal.

This is another of the same.
