The town of Eagle along the Yukon was hit hard by the break up of the ice earlier this summer. The ice jammed up before the town and when the water pressure was too much it well... kind of
exploded and ripped the town apart. Houses we ripped off of their foundations and thrown several hundred feet in different directions... The whole town was pretty much destroyed. So we stopped in Eagle for a day and helped a lady (Lennie) out by taking her house apart for her and sorting through the junk and the
reusable wood.

One of the most beautiful nights we had. It was
crystal clear with great views in every direction!
Riding a couple of the stationary bikes in the crazy hostel we camped at outside of Dawson...

Some of the guys we met on the river... They were from Spain, and don't worry they were much more friendly than what they look like in this picture - I promise!

We went fishing and hunting for invasive plants up the Nation River. We found this great swimming hole were we washed clothes, swam, and bathed. It was a great day!
One of the many wolf tracks we saw along the river. As you can see with Ellen's foot print along side this is not a small wolf at all :)
There were so many Raspberries around the cabin! We picked SO many!
This is what we did with the raspberries we picked. Yummy!!!
