I'm probably a thousand miles east of dillingham, only 350 miles from whitehorse, Yukon. Anyway, I never see any of the good stuff; just moose, bear and last few weeks have had a pack of wolves come in trying to draw my dogs out for supper. Kinda cool having wolves and your dogs howlin back and forth. these buggers come within 100 yards of the cabin, but soon as I head out on porch with ar; they shut right up and disappear. Its snowing good right now. If we get a few feet, I want to run some of those eatin machines down. Natiive neighbor showed me all the teeth marks on his snowmachine. They turn on ya just when you are about to dust them so he tells me. Soft body don't hurt ski-doos none. Actually, been trying to tape them howling for ya; but they wind me and quiet right up.

Whitefish are spawning and everyones in hip boots with coleman spearing sack fulls. One local got 50 some other night. All I get is the flu.

Back to big birds. I don't laugh at all that junk we don't understand. The natives talk about stick people. Some lost race that lives in the mnts and used to steal kids. They talk to bears and don't want owls callin out their name. They do alot of things we laugh about but awful serious to them. Big connection with nature. Lynx is a delicacy. like chicken. So much I try and keep an open mind about; but still I never see the green men, bigfoots, or ghosts.

But here's one for ya. These people where I'm at big into steam baths (sweat lodges). I have mine about finished and plan on the ritual this sat. Anyway, it must be 250 degrees in there and all they say is more steam or heat. After 10 minutes, head out and roll in the snow , then back in for another heat. 4-5 of these and you feel super relaxed and clean. But here is the real catch. They pray in them. Prayer is intense at 200 degrees.

Anyway, if I see anything big flyin around I will be sure to bring her down; as they shoot and eat about everything they see around these parts.
