Warm Up
Cold Spell Well, the cold spell lasted a little longer than we thought. The temperature got down to around -50 a couple of times.

Normally I would have been using it to get firewood and scout for moose but this year we have had to spend every moment we could getting the house repairs done. We went upriver a little ways… Continue reading First time on the Yukon this year
Preparing for Breakup
