not sure how long this policy will last: US #DOJ to defend, protect #BristolBay #Alaska “President Trump stands with Alaskans and with fishing communities nationwide today” says Wild Salmon Center President Guido Rahr “We applaud this decision to protect America’s greatest salmon stronghold […]
🚨 Alert: Pebble Mine still isn’t dead.
A new court filing shows Trump-era support could revive the toxic project—despite public outcry and an EPA veto.
Bristol Bay's salmon, people & cultures are at risk.
We stand with Alaskans fighting back.

Sliced open sourdough roll with jar of salmonberry jam in the background
Crumb this kids!
And ya, that is salmonberry jam in that jar: liquid Bristol Bay gold.
Shared a couple fruit nut sourdough rolls with “the enemy” also know as my bread guru and she gifted me this precious jar from her stash.

Thanx Rick. Can’t recall the last time we had the ice pack cross the #Bristolbay 25 years ago some friends rode their mountain bikes from Naknek to Dillingham then back a few days later. I used to put my airplane on skis on the 5NK pond by thanksgiving, that doesn’t happen anymore…

Four wheeler on the ice covered slightly muddy #Naknek beach with car sized icebergs here and there to race around on a mostly sunny afternoon. #mudsky
Office work went a lot faster, even got the invoices out, snow flurries off and on all day but the sun was fighting to come out and won about the time I was done: win-win.
Decided to gear up instead and go for a wheeler ride (aka 4x ATC) down to the beach.

WIP NDN medallions for sonnies. One wanted the Alaska state flag design; I added the 49th and a red dot to mark South Naknek 💙 Other wanted an Orthodox cross medallion. Going to work on these today some more.
