blueberries were still abundant, since they have had a few frosts already, the sugars have set and they are soooo good. Very sweet and not bitter at all.
Looking up at the scree field we are about to climb.

Nice view looking straight up the scree field we were heading up. Long and painful climb.

It was strange to see so many sheep down low in the valley. What drove them there? More hunting pressure? Less predator pressure? Who knows.

there are sheep in both of these photos. We found 27 in all for the day, but none were legal shooting rams.

Sockeye Salmon fishing on the Gulkana River. Chrissy was fishing too, but she was the only one who was thoughtful enough to take photos. I will be sure to get photos of her on the next trip.

We had to make these fast, as it was all last minute thinking. We have a little bit of extra concrete, what to do with it....

Chrissy made some incredible stepping stones. I think that this might become a regular project.
