Unalakleet Fun

I returned to Nome last night after spending a week in Unalakleet. After spending the days working, it was time for fun in the evenings. Monday night, three friends and I went fishing. We filleted the fish on the truck tailgate and then built a fire to roast marshmallows. While we were hanging around the fire, a fox came along and went over to the truck to begin eating the discarded pieces of fish. It was very cool to just stand there and quietly watch the fox. Occasionally it would look up to see if we were still keeping our distance, then it would continue eating. It was a great night getting up close with nature.
