A Trip with Micah to the Alaskan Bush....

I made Micah take a camera on an Audit with him into one of the small native villages in the Bush. I always laugh because I have to pack him food and water for his trip and this time I had to send him with a sleeping bag and pillow. It was crazy trying to make it all fit! This is alot of how it is for him on these smaller audits... poor guy no wonder he slept 16 hrs straight when he got home!!




This is the veiw of the the Village of Akiachak, from the 4 seater plane Micah was flying in on!



This is the very busy airport that he landed in... if you look really close you can see the marks in the snow.



Micah did an audit on a small Native Corp... the only place for them to work and sleep was in the local school. This is where he worked and slept!



Here is the handsome man gettign ready for the -40 below (that doesn't include the wind chill) weather! I just love this very hairy man!



Here is his view on the way home... this is a major river your looking at and if you look closer there are definate tracks where the snowmobilers ride on top of the ice... for the most part this is safe its just that rivers never freeze solid so no matter how thick the ice is there is always flowing water underneath, and rivers also have to breath, or relieve built op pressure so when ridding on a river pay close attention,there are always holes to watch out for ... I only showed this because he almost wasn't able fly out of the village, so he had a back up plan (of course he is a Clinger) he found some locals to snowmobile him out and this would have been the route they took thank goodness this didn't happen.
