Thursday, August 26, 2010 and the past two weeks






Wow, school is here already. It’s hard to believe. We started teaching students this past Tuesday after dropping our company off at the airport the week before. Although it’s been a busy last two weeks getting ready for school, we have had the opportunity to take in some amazing wildlife. We have seen multiple caribou on the way to work. Our route takes us across the Kenai River Flat, which is very tundra looking. There is a herd of caribou that hang out in these parts. Just this morning on our way to school we saw at least four caribou off in the distance making their way through the morning fog. We have also been fortunate to see flocks of sandhill cranes and bald eagles in these parts.

Our residential mama moose and her two calves are still showing up at the house. Two nights ago we saw one of the calves run to mom and begin feeding right in front of our place. It was incredible.
