Time to unwind!

Last Friday I returned to Unalakleet after a week in Anchorage with 3 other teachers and 14 seniors. We took our seniors to Anchorage where they participated in the College and Career Fair. We took them many other places in the five days we were in "town". That is what we call it when we are in Anchorage or planning a trip to Anchorage, we say we are going to "town". I will write more about our trip when I post some of the pics. But.... this is after my return home. I got up early Saturday morning and packed my camera, a couple of books, some beef sticks and cheese, granola bars and hot tea...... oh yeah... and my 44. Then I rode the 4 wheeler out to the North River Ridge and soaked up the silence, took in the scenery and recharged my batteries. It was a wonderful day.

This was taken from the North River bridge. It is starting to freeze over. There were fox tracks actually under the bridge..... crossing from one bank to the other.



a view of the North River Valley... where I chose to rejuvinate

a view from the spot we will be camping this weekend

When I was returning from the valley a storm began to blow in. You can see it in the right side of the picture.

I think it is safe to say winter is here.

Another view of the North River.


You can see the trail leading into the North River Valley.

Our playground!!!!! We love it here.
