Had a really good day today, got about 20 lbs. of moose meat from a guy at work that doesn't really like it too much, and went fishing all day.
We went out to 21 mile Chena Hot Springs Road and fished for Grayling for about 5 hours, caught a few really nice sized ones on no. 1 mepps single hook spinners. The Chena River is a catch and release only river for graylings, so we let them all go, but it was awesome. Next week I'm headed over to the Chatanika River where you can keep 5 a day. These things looked too delicious not to try eating.
After alot of fishing, went and got some food at Carl's Jr. and headed over to Ballaine lake for some Rainbow Trout fishing. The fishing there is superb, as the state stocks it every year. The fish all die off at freezeup, so it didn't seem like any big deal to take home 4 of them to cook up for dinner. Delicious. I am going to have to make a habit of stopping by that lake a few times a week for fresh fish.
Getting a little colder out this week, we got our heater installed in the cabin and after talking with some friends that live a few doors down, found out there is a cow moose and two calves that have been hanging around the area. I was beginning to wonder what all the brown fur I kept finding on the driveway was from, now I know.

Justin & Chrissy,
I have been following your adventures since you left Louisville. I wanted to let you know your posts are beeing monitored and enjoyed. I try to check in at least once a week.
One thought. You might consider getting a electric pump that hooks to a garden hose to pump the water up to the holding tank. It would save alot of heavy lifting. It should not be too expensive.
