Winter Wonderland!

January in Gambell, Alaska

Winter started off pretty tame...

But....then it really began!!

The snow drifts are about to bury our Principal's apartment!

4 wheelers are useless!

The beginning of the snow drift that cuts us off from the school!!!

Four of us had to work together to crawl our way through the drift...after all it was a school day!

Finally, they plowed our path...it was clear for a week, then more snow came and it was back to doing the belly crawl!

Here is how we take out the trash!  Lani has a 4-wheeler loaded down for a dump run. Of course, they have to plow before this can be accomplished!

Gambell in winter is a beautiful sight!

Flying Back to Gambell

After Christmas break, Cody and I flew back to our little island home. The night sky was lit up by the streetlights of Anchorage. I couldn't believe how strait the streets looked!

Part of the Chucagh mountain range 

Mt. McKinley (Denali) in the distance :-)

I love the Beautiful ice designs as seen from above. All the squiggly lines are rivers and other waterways that are frozen.  

Some look like a long snake!

Some looked like a brain!
