Weekend up the Steese
Last night Luke and I ran up the Steese. It's finally summer and so it's time to get out camping. Jessie's back later tonight so now I'm back but we met up with Rob at our old favorite camping spot, 12 mile summit. Some decent back country gourmet to get us going:
The bacon, sausage, green pepper w/ sour cream and cheddar, zucchinni slices, and onion all found themselves at one time or another stuck with sour cream to a tortilla. Pretty tasty vittles!
Luke whipped up some chile something or other things for breakfast that were pretty sweet, too. First you saute up some onion then turn corn tortillas into chips. Finally dump in salsa to the chips and warm, drop the onions in, too. Pretty delightful when topped with sour cream and a mexican cheese. Not that we were all that hungry this morning so I guess it was more the principle of the thing.
Matilda finally realized a several month dream and got to meet Mr. Whiskers, Rob's cat who she met back in March. The meeting was fairly civil although the cat totally didn't care for her. She was just so pleased to finally meet the kitty though. Matilda hopped into the car as soon as the door was opened to say hi. She was even more transfixed than Midge has been.
It's so awesome up there that even the view from the gravel removal pond is sweet:
The dogs are awesomely tuckered out hopefully for the next several day...
Finally, back in Fox, Luke pointed out a couple must see items that he's been passing while out biking. Check it out, first up, a junkyard house:
The 2D picture really doesn't do the 3D trash going on and on and on depth justice but still pretty awesome.
Second, another gravel pit. Hello booze cruise. Or something. Anyway, perhaps worth wasting your time on if you're checking out Fairbanks.
Well, next week is back to Nome time and the summer visitors start trickling in after that with my parents first up in two weeks time.

Hey Bob,
Hope all is well.
What are you shooting pictures with these days?
They are coming out quite nice, and am looking for a new camera.
Stay Safe,
Big J

Hey dude, yeah things are rocking plus it's summer, a nearly lethal combo.
I've got two favorite cameras right now. One's a water proof point and shoot I take everywhere made by Pentax, the W10 if you search for it. I got it for a couple hundred last summer. Then I have an older digital SLR, the Nikon D100. They've both been pretty good to me. If you want to go the old school camera + lenses and stuff route then maybe a Nikon D50 to D200 (depending on your budget) would be a nice investment and similar to the D100. I think both ones I'm using are great though and if you're still in the middle east you should totally be logging that stuff for posterity you know.
