Dipnetting at Chitna on the Copper River
Everyone decided to leave Summit Lake where we were ATVing and head back to town, me I decided to head to Chitna and do some dipnetting for Salmon. The reds were in and I figured since I hadn’t been dipnetting for a quite a few years it was time I did it again. I got more »
Share on FacebookMemorial Weekend 2017
Was a good weekend, not many FST folks showed up, but then there wasn’t many folks at the Nome Creek area at all, probable the lowest number of campers I’ve seen at Nome Creek for a number of years. Steve and Stoney left early, so Ingrid, David and I rode the Quartz Creek trail, it more »
Share on FacebookCaribou Trip 2, 2016
So the weather is nice and we all have Caribou tags to fill. Normally I’d go up to Rosebud in the Chena Rec area, but that is in zone 1 and was closed while Trish and I were at the cabin in Dec. So Dean, Dave, Jake and I decided to go into the White more »

Well trip two for the Caribou was as unsuccessful as the first one. Only thing I got from the 2nd run up to Rosebud was a broken A-Arm on the Bearcat, a spendy repair bill and a still empty freezer. Oh well it’s almost Christmas and I just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas more »

Share on FacebookPre-Memorial Weekend Decision
We had planned to go to Nome Creek again this coming Memorial weekend, however it looks like we’ll be heading in a different direction, where, no idea as of yet. All I know for now is that our camping spot along Nome Creek is buried under 1 to 4 feet of ice. Dang it, it’s more »
Share on FacebookFeels Like Spring
Well I’m hoping it is, finally spring that is. With the snow storm coming and ice still on the ground, it feels more like fall, but then the bears are coming out of hibernation, so maybe it is getting closer to summer. Of course the bruin that made this foot print can stay in his more »
Share on FacebookStarting work on the Iron Dog Trail
Being close to the end of January I figured it was time to start working on the Iron Dog trail and spent my day off setting the track from the Tanana to the Chena River. This is really a short section of the trail, maybe 6 miles, but I also have to set up the more »
