Sept 2005 - Alaska Trip

Sept 15-16, 2005  My Place

These are pictures taken on my place in Salcha, Alaska.

Garage.  The trash and vehicles are not mine, but they're leaving soon! Green house.  Soon to be moved to a sunnier location Plan is to build a cabin at the edge of the woods on right. Family plot.  Stone and angels provided by a thoughtful neighbor.
Four-wheeler trail to rear of property, which has been cleared. Typical plants and terrain.  Tundra, tamrac, spruce, and a few birch. Typical tundra. Lichen.
Rock pile.  Riverbed gravel excavated to build roads and foundations. Ruffed grouse.  Can you find him? (See next frame for hint.) Closeup. Every kind of rock occurs in riverbed gravel.  The variety and colors are fascinating.
 
View of one of the cleared areas on my property. Relaxing on the rock pile. Throwing rocks in the gravel pit.  My daughter once loved to do this!
