Friday evening Ray, Mike and I got back from our sojourn to the South End of Kodiak. We barely beat a HUGE storm and all day Saturday it raged outside here in town. The last 2 days have been a blur of puting away gear, meat care and Monopoly. Ray, Nora, Stuey and I had a three hour epic marathon game of Monopoly yesterday morning while the wind and rain beat against the windows.
The South End, as usual, was stunning and we were blessed with good weather. It was just the sort of elemental activity that I needed. Life at its most basic is pretty simple - a warm teepee with woodstove, water from the river, and meat on the hoof. One night we even collected and ate nettles for dinner.
We came back with around 400 pounds of meat. So it was also a successful hunting trip. I'll post more on the details of the trip in later posts. On this post I'll just show some of the stunning scenery.

More photos of scenery and less of dead meat will be fine with me! I find the landscapes of Kodiak beautiful and some of them remind me a lot of Tasmania, our most southern state here.
