Beautiful sunset near Ruby. Reminded me of the old saying, "Red sky at night, sailor's delight, red sky in morning, sailor take warning." It didn't turn out to be true, as evidenced by the next picture. Of course it wasn't near Lake Superior though.
First snow of the season on September 30th. It was wet and sloppy and great for doing donuts with my four wheeler.
Scotty and I went camping up the Melozi river last weekend. We bear hunted but had no luck. We did see a bunch of decaying salmon and skeletons littering the bank. We figured we'd see bears for sure but who knows, they might be starting to hibernate already.
Self portrait near our campsite. Note the greasy hair. That's what'll happen when you get all sweaty hiking around and you don't shower for three days straight.
See the dragonfly? I snapped a picture of him along the riverbank. I think they might just freeze solid for the winter. Maybe they just die every fall when it freezes up? I don't know. I just know that it made a cool picture.
Scotty holding up a nice grayling. We had no luck bear hunting, but caught a bunch of these. It was a nice consolation prize. We ended up keeping a bunch and having a fish fry at Scotty's house when we got back from camping. They are a beautiful and tasty fish. We were catching them almost every cast using number one spinners.
An old cabin we found along the Ruby-Poorman road. It was built into a hill.
Our take from chicken hunting today. They are spruce grouse and are very similar to the partridge of the U.P. They are also very dumb birds, as we got within 10 yards of many of these birds before we shot them. I cooked them up today, and they were delicious.
