Way to go SEAK! I was curious how he was going to do since all his running has been on a treadmill. Sounds like he faired pretty well. How long was the Marathon? 26 miles? Wouldn' t surprise me since he does all those 9 minute miles up here. Nim, sooner or later we' ll get the chance to call him our mule.

Best regards on your upcoming trip Nim, hope all goes as well as it can. My wife and family are going to Kotzebue in the first week of July to spread her aunt' s ashes over the areas were she helped so many people over the years.

The caribou are starting to wander through town. Seen a couple of nice racks starting. I pan fried a parkers squirrel last night. [X(][X(][X(] More garlic next time. Maybe the skinny ones taste better. The one I shot yesterday was a rollie pollie little guy. I stalked some bou as well with the camera. Got 25 yards from a herd of 12 and clicked a picture of em. There were 8 bulls, 2 cows and 2 calves. Only one bull had points coming off the tops. Season is getting close. Hopefully I can fill a spot in Phish' s freezer!
