Cast Away

-6 with a few clouds in Tsiigehtchic today.
Sunrise at 5:47 and Sunset at 23:57.
3 hours and 53 more minutes than my last blog!  The ice road is expected to break up in the next few weeks!

BINGO TALLY -12 Losses and 2 Wins!

I hope to get to Inuvik this week for supplies before the road closes.  I better get brushed up on my survival skills before we get stranded here over spring.

We had these plaques made to commemorate the elders and had a feast where they were presented with this gift.  It is an engraving in black granite of the two churches on the hill coming into town.  The old one is to the right and the new one has the wooden walkway.  The saying above the churches is in Gwich'in and translates as, "We will be Strong Minded Elders."

Well here is evidence of how I have been spending some of my time.  If you want to send me some beads and a bead loom pattern I will see what I can put together for you.  I can find a pattern online if you know what you want as well.  It has been fun to put these together.  I would like to put the turtle on a debit card wallet and have a string to hang it around my neck instead of carrying a purse around.
