Yesterday thanks to the warmer weather I was able to finish up the chinking! And today I did some work on the front door to make it seal up nice and tight. I took a couple pics of the finished product, may not be the prettiest chinking job but it should to the trick.
Now that I feel comfortable that cabin is sealed up as tight as it can get, I'm going to head into town and see if I can make a little more money before care-taking for Doug this winter. I'm not quite sure how long I will be in town but I'm hoping not more that one to two weeks. One concern I have is that if I hang out in town for too long I won't be able to get back to the Chatanika valley. I believe I mentioned some time ago that there is certain time in the spring and fall when the seasons are in transition and a neither a snowmachine or 4 wheeler can get you up and down the hill. Also if the river freezes over again a canoe won't be much help and the ice will be to thin to take a machine across. I guess I'll just have to see what happens.
I'll try to get some posts up when I'm in town to show you what kind of work I'll be doing. I'm also looking forward to meeting up with some of my friends at Billie's, I haven't seen them for a while and I'd like to re-connect with them, especially Ralf. I haven't had the chance to meet up with him the last couple times I've gone to town. I have heard from Doug that he plans on making it out to the Chatanika, maybe in October, and I'd like to meet up with him before that.
