The River is Here

Today was our first time out on the river (The Kuskokwim River). We went with our friends Roger and Charley and their friend. It was a cool experience and it reminded me how much I miss the water. I really wish that Bethel was on the ocean, but being on a river is pretty cool too. We were on the Church skiff from Bethel Community Assembly of God and it was awesome! We stopped at a fish camp (Charley's aunt's fish camp) where they catch and dry and smoke fish at certan times of the year. Then we landed on a beach up river and went out on the tundra to pick berries (mostly blueberries and salmon berries and some blackberries) and get eaten by mosquitos. It was a fun little trip and we are excited to get back out on the water soon. Here are some pics.
