This is South Naknek across the river that I am looking at. Even in the background a lonely cold volcano stands watch...it's not Pavloff though:(
And what a flat straight stretch of road this is....miles and miles of flat tundra between Naknek and King Salmon.
Another view of Naknek and the canneries that line the Naknek River. I hear this sleepy little town of 400 swells to over 10,000 in the summer with the Red Salmon season that runs for a few short weeks. WOW!!
So many new sights to see, but on a walk I spied some old familiar ones, too....
like a lone ptarmagin in mid-winter change.
A pretty surf and sea grass over here on the Bristol Bay side. The water is a gray silt from the glacier run-offs, a far different color than the Aleutian Blue around Sand Point.
I don't have to worry about buffalo here, but there are bears here, wolves, foxes, and oh yeah....the brown dog!!
I inhereited this guy with the cabin I am staying in, he comes in at night, eats, sleeps by the Toyo stove and once nightly gets up to drink from the toilet then retreats back to the stove side. In the morning he leaves and fends for himself during the day only to return to my porch every night!!
And the ever present self-shadow...recognize me?!?!
A summer fish cabin for set-netters during the summer fishing season.
No that isn't a cross for a grave next to the cabin, but a clothes line for drying fish or anything else needing drying!
And after that beautiful clear blue sky, I woke the next morning to another first...4-6 inches of fresh COLD powder fell and the temperatures continued to plummet for the next few days...oh boy do I need some warm clothes and especially a heavier coat! Oh where o where is my down parka??? I feel a care package coming!!
