3 weeks in the bush, so far.

Sorry it took me so long to get an update up but i left my computer in town when i headed out to the bush an this was the soonest i could get back out. Well it was a lot of work to get out to Dougs cabin with out a 4 wheeler or snow machine. Even with one of those machines i'm not sure i would have made it. But, long story short i made it to Dougs cabin in the Chatanika river valley and he let me in, made me a huge breakfast and coffee. For the the first few days out there i stayed at Dougs and walked down the hill to the cabin by the lake that would be my place to stay for the summer and got it ready to go. I had to build a bed frame, a screen door, a screen for the window, some shelves in the cabin and get it stocked up with gear and supplies. I have also been spending a lot of time with one of Dougs dogs Sammie. She goes with me everywhere and now stays at the cabin on the lake with me and lets me know when something comes creeping around. After i got the cabin ready i had a lot of work to do around around the property. All around the cabin are trees that were cut down 12 years ago and needed to be cut up and burned, wood for the wood stove in the cabin. After i had the lake property cleaned up the conditions were getting a little better so i could get started working for Doug, keeping track of my hours and making some $. Today i'll show you some pics of Dougs property. I should be able to start getting updates out at least every couple days now. I have tons of pics and video to show you so please bear with me. The pics are of a view of the river valley from Dougs yard, looking down the trail from the yard at the chicken coop, the solar panels, geese and garden. Also looking up the trail at the cabin and the array of satellites on the roof, a view of the lake property where my cabin is at, about a mile away and Sammie chained up at Dougs. Check back every couple days from now on, lots and lots to come.
