I have been teaching in bush Alaska for five years now. I came here thinking it would only be a three year plan, but I now find myself starting a fifth year. I live in Bethel with my mutt Suka.

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.
