Day at Salmon Lake

Yesterday was a great day! I went with my friends, Kim and Corey, their four children, and Corey's parents, to Salmon Lake, which is approximately 30 miles outside of Nome. They put out the net to catch some salmon (Red's). It is the end of the run for the red's. Did catch several of them though. Corey is going to smoke them, that should be very good! Can't wait to try them out. Also went driving further up the road, almost to mile 70! Saw lots of musk oxen. Then, on the drive back we saw three baby fox and their mother. They were playing in the road when we first saw them. We drove up to them very slowly. They finally went off the road and into the willows. Then, one little baby peeked out of the brush and came back out on the road right next to my truck. It looked at us for a bit, then turned and went back into the brush. Experiences like this is what makes me love rural Alaska so much! It was a wonderful day!
