Stop #4: AK - Week 5

July 22-26, 2012
With our time coming to a close, the final touches were finished on the cabin roof. 
With limited supplies, not all of the roofing came in the same color. The blue and silver design made our work easily identifiable. 
The trades of the local people were taught to all who were willing to learn.

Including the fantastic art of birch bark basket making. 

We even got to go and fetch our own supplies.

Our first glimpse of an Alaskan sunset, at 10:52pm.

The Tetlin Wildlife Refuge took us out on Moon Lake in an amazing voyager canoe.


The canoe could hold up to 16 people

Just before we left, a moose decided to jump in the lake for a swim. That put my moose total up to 14.
