13 weeks is over. My first assignment ended June 20. I decided to extend for another assignment.
It has taken 2 weeks to get this next post added. It has been a busy beautiful couple of weeks. the weather was actually beautiful. Highs in the 60's, not much wind, and lots of sunshine. The summer solstice was June 21st. In Nome, sunrise was 4:19 am and sunset was 1:47 am.
I participated in the Midnight Sun Polar Bear Plunge.
The Bering Sea is cold. Very cold.
With the nice weather I also took a couple rides on the ATV.
The nicest thing is that stuff is starting to turn green.
These first pictures are back up the Kougarok Rd.
This was from the weekend before the Solstice.
The next pictures are from a trip up the Teller Road.
I have been out this road 2 or 3 times
I was finally able to see sunshine on this road.
One of the reasons I came out, was to see how long it would take to get out to a couple rivers.
I am told Dolly Varden & Arctic grayling can be caught in the Cripple.
This trip I did not bring my rods, I just came to enjoy the sunshine.......
& picture taking opportunities. The airboat is on the Sinuk River.
There are some red salmon, some pinks, & then Dolly Varden and grayling.
I kept going past the Sinuk a few miles.
This is looking back toward the bridge over the Sinuk.
This is coming back into Nome.
On June 28, I got back out fishing. This was up on the Kuzitrin River. This is the first Arctic grayling I have caught.
