Day 239, 8/27/2011

Today was a fun hike with friends up the Birch Hill downhill ski area on Fort Wainwright. 

The chair lift won’t be lonely much longer…


Meanwhile, Matt is caribou hunting with a friend from work near Chicken, Alaska. They say the town was named Chicken because no one knew how to spell the name of the state bird, the Ptarmigan, so they just went with Chicken.

This group of bulls is part of the 40 Mile Herd, a group that roams near the Yukon River toward the Canadian border.

A successful hunt brings meat home to the freezer.
