Here I am crouched over a 5 gallon bucket (free from NAPA), in a camp chair (free from transient campers) plucking a free range spruce grouse. Spruce grouse is damn tasty, very dark for a bird, with a slight tinny flavor and hints of saffron and llama.
Way too proud, but hey this is big game according to how this year is going, damn you Fortuna.
Cool burgundy colored bolete, some of the boletes up here are almost black!
Blue bruisin, a nice contrast to the warm ochre underside of this mushroom cap.
Tyler's mom came to visit this July and we enjoyed the greater Kenai Peninsula's sights. Here we are in Nikiski at the Rusky Orthodotsky Churchy. Babies here are born with full beards and are baptised in vodka.
A trail near moose pass AK. The plant we see in the foreground here is monkshood. A poisonous plant that was utilized by the natives as poison to tip the darts of there atl-atls to kill humpbacks and other whales. Did i mention it's free.
Free gold for the taking!!! OK, so we didn't find any this time, but we have found flakes here before. someday I'm gonna strike it rich enough to get a new tattoo. A tattoo of a shovel and a pick axe of course.
A secret pond with a rustic looking picnic table i hand hewed for the occasion. Around the campfire this night while i was sipping on a cool MGD a beaver actually climbed out of the water, to within 4' of my ankles so that he could cut a choice piece of alder. I have two witnesses to this event, booyah. There was also a loon nest amongst the lily pads in the background.
A forestfirey sunset. It was a rather dry summer after a wet summer the year before, thus we had 300 forest fires in the state by mid july.
