Ice Road to Akiak

Took a trip with Ben and Suka up the Kuskokwim the other day.  It was beautiful!  We passed by Kwethluk, Ackiachak and Akiak.  Tuluksak was a bit far away and the sun was going down fast.  The sun comes up around 10:30 and sets around 5:00.  We're gaining daylight now though.  About 9 second a day...?  We stopped in Akiak to check out the airport and use the "bathroom."  They built a very nice school there I didn't know about.  It had a small green house as well.  We went on a bit farther up river and spotted a red fox and moose tracks.  Overall, I think we went 80 miles round trip.  So, in the picture is Suka and I next to Ben's red Toyota.  It's a sturdy little truck.  Starts up every time even in -20 weather.
