85 miles Burwash Landing - Beaver Creek



Had the poor man's shower this morning (scrubbing in the sink).  When Chris and I stopped for lunch today there were some funny birds that came and perched next to us trying to get a bite.  These birds were really getting into it, and were very brave.  One bit Chris on the finger!  I think we'll get back into Alaska tomorrow.  The trees here look like they've come straight from a dr. seuss book.  we're actually camping at a rest stop some 23 miles south of Beaver Creek.  Went into a cabin along the way with an old couple "old buzzard, and cute little chick."  the sign had been there for some 40 years.  they sure did like to bicker with each other and the prices on the canned and jarred goods were really low so i think they haven't a notion about inflation, which works for us!  It's really hit or miss now.  Peanut butter is one of the most expensive things out here.  I guess it's just a supply and demand thing.  grocery stores are spaced out by around 100 miles or more... and we get desperate after a while.
