Two Notes: Ten Point Buck ; Alaskan Archives

Two things:

One: The ten point buck was in at 7:10 PM last night, along with two does and two fawns. My camera did not get a good photo.

Two: Pasting below a connection to Alaska archives, some great links there... you can choose an era, a region, photos of interest, e.g. dog teams, etc. Not sure if this is 'clickable', but will try it.

Apple Time

Beautiful bucks, two of them, were in the other day. And this is not a clear photo, but one was a ten point and one was a six point. The apple trees are bending over this year with fruit, and I've started shaking the trees to bring them down for the deer.

Another happy apple eater appears to be the turkeys, who are especially prolific this year.

Teams :) of turkeys parade through here every day.

And the interminable dust/sand has knocked me down. I'm stuck in the house with lung problems... should have worn a mask on those sandy runs. Fortunately we've found a new helper this summer who can take over for a few days.

Leaders leading in the dust , dust, dust

Buffy and Rosie hardly noticed the new machine behind them. They practically leapt into their harnesses on the one cool day we had for running. Seeing the deer by the apple trees kept their ears up, too.

It is dry and sandy/dusty... one night of 1/8 inch rain, but dust clouds everywhere. Having to water things down every day. Tough on our lungs.

Alaskan Oregonian Odyssey

We are just back from our nomadic visit to Alaska/Oregon. My granddaughter, age 12, was a grand co-pilot as we took the winding , wet , mountain viewing roads down to Seward. We stopped at the Portage Glacier, visited and rode the cart ride at the Seavey sled dog kennel, toured the Sea Life Center funded by Exxon's settlement monies for the Valdez spill , toured the Anchorage zoo, and generally had a wonderful grandmother/granddaughter time together. The vast arrray of gift shops kept her happily moving along. My cell phone didn't work for which I was almost grateful.

From there we went to Portland, OR for more family visiting with my son, wife and grandson, taking day trips to Mt Hood and downtown Sandy and Portland. It was 100 degrees in Portland for two days... recordbreaking heat and even the top of the mtn didn't give relief. We caught some photos of a just starting forest fire, which had burned 516 acres last I heard.

Team Machine

We received our new machine today, the Polaris Ranger XP. We took a family ride to try it out on our trails. We'll certainly have to do some cutting to make trails wider for this five foot wide machine. It is GREAT! a bit noisy, it scares the deer, but they will get used to me in it.

We are planning to use it to give rides behind teams for kennel visitors. Could use some help figuring out the hookup though as the front bars are too large for any carabiners... guess I 'll wangle a bungee on each side and attach the carabiners, unless any one reading this has a better suggestion.

North to Alaska

Looking forward to a late summer trip to Alaska and Oregon with my granddaughter.

We hope to get to Denali Park and then back to Portland, OR to visit my son's family before they leave for their trip to Fedosia, Ukraine. Globe trotting grandchildren... who would have thought?
