Okay, so it's been a week in Alaska and I know all three of our readers are dying for a new post. So here it is, in the form of a thumbs up/thumbs down edition.
Thumbs up: Working at the Lynx Creek Gas Station/Convenience Store/Booze Shop. It actually is turning out to be a good gig. It's easy, good co-workers, and its the only seller of off-sale alcohol in the area. So far, so good.
Thumbs down: Smashing fingers in doors (pictured to the right). That's Sam's finger...yep, just smashed it in a door. Right now, its the size of a small Jeep.
Thumbs up: Off days. In the last two days, we've climbed a mountain, seen three moose, and visited the home/kennel of a dog-musher who won the Iditarod four times. There were about 100 Alaskan huskies there...good times. We also climbed another mountain a few days back, and have pictures of everything. Which raises the question: why do I keep posting non-wilderness related photos on here? I'm not sure. Have patience, they will come.
Thumbs down: Booze prices. And prices for everything, actually, but it hurts more when its the essential items. A six-pack of decent beer is $10.49...you don't even want to know what we pay at the bar. So far, there's been a lot of Rich and Rare whiskey consumed...
Thumbs up: The Salmon Bake. So far, its the most happenin bar in the area (it had a one in three chance), even if it costs a days wages to enjoy a few drinks there. Last night, we saw a band there called "The Gangly Moose," which consisted of three guys over 50 jamming their asses off.
That's all I got right now. I'm gonna go ice the finger.
