Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
This was our first turkey so however cliche a turkey picture might be I wanted to make my father proud.
We took our thanksgiving dinner on the trail with our ski's and sleds which Jay informed us had been on Denali. But I assured him they had never carried such a delicious turkey before.
Lucy packed to the brim as always.
After many snowy miles we reached our Yurt.
Lucy would have us live in a yurt because she can always keep a close eye on us while being completely comfortable.
Making do with what we have.
Eagle river right next to the yurt.
Hiking up river.

Shrimp cocktail is becoming a cold thanksgiving tradition for us young Alaskans.
The yurt at sunset at about 4:00 pm. The first night we forgot propane and were functioning off a few headlamps. The next day Jay and Nate skied back to civilization for propane to run the lantern. Believe us when we say that 1000 lumens can make all the difference when the sun sets at 4. This is our bright glowing yurt the second night...
X-country skiing around home. The sun seems like it's setting but really just moved sideways :)
The sun moving sideways makes for long brilliant sunsets.
We're staying busy smoking and canning our copper river red salmon.
We're thinking about all our friends and family back home in these harsh winter months. Stay in touch!
P.S. Here's the latest backyard standoff.
Oh and Lucy won of course, chasing the moose off just seconds after this photo.
Looks beautiful! And how was the dinner? I want shrimp!
