Hope your all happy and healthy!

Ive missed this place, and in catching up tonight I figured , for what its worth, I'll tell ya what Ive been doing


Been cruizing the rivers, and have decided on some changes as of recent;
Deering is out of gas, and "Bootleg" brought in on boats is going for 15$ a gallon, and heating oil at 12$ a gallon from the store. Gas in Noorvik is (!!!!) 4.90$ a gallon untill the fuel barge shows up. I bought as much as I had containers for.
Deering hasn't squat for trees around, and not much on the beach that eats your chainsaw with all the sand pounded into it.
We were on our way up Kobuk river, and the trees all around, dead ones leaning over the undercut banks, dead and dry, waiting for the bite of my ax......the stuff just floating by, and we decided right there to move back North from the Kiwalik and move to our camp at Kookoochaiq on the Kobuk river to winter over.
24X24 and one big room, its well insulated and solid, with no pitching.We are gonna get some walls together and out fit a kitchen, really no problem.
Heating problem solved!!! Its better to boat our stuffs up, and spend on gas, moving and hunting, than to piss $$$ away this winter with oil.
Right now were sure there Salmon in the Kiwalik now,(Deering has Salmon this last week) and were fairly gonna have to take awhile to move it all, but by the end of September, all will reside back on the big ol' Kobuk River.
Theres been a great run of Chum Salmon as well,when we arrived at Noorvik, and it was great eating fresh Salmon again...... though the first run of the year diddnt show up at all. Not one, in any Kotzebue Sound river. Who knows why??????
The hunting is good there, as good as the Kiwalik, though with less Caribou but much more small game. I know the grounds, so it should be fun.
The fishing is great as is the Kiwalik.

Were on our way back to the Kiwalik ASAP with the weather and all, and surly to Deering to get more than a months worth of mail, I cant wait.

Oddly enough, when we bought a P.O. box, its the same # as our one in Deering, but now in Noorvik, and 99763 insted of 99736...

Bushi, Daves gonna have a blast again.
