Last Winter Cabin Trip

Upper Angel Creek

It's the end of March and time for our last winter cabin trip.

This trip was to Upper Angel Creek, which is 7 miles in from the road.

This is the view up the valley towards the cabin.

Jeremy mushed in.

I skijored with Tommy and Crash.

This is the Upper Angle Creek Cabin.

This is an inside look at the cabin. Most cabins look similar. They have a stove, table with benches, and plywood bunks. This is a view of the "kitchen." The big pot on the stove is to melt snow for dog water.

This is Skidder our old lead dog. Because he is the lead dog and an old dog he gets to stay in the cabin. He's gotten quite used to it and wastes no time in finding the soft places.

On the way out I took this picture of a burned area. It's a black spruce burn area. There are lots of these in interior Alaska as black spruces burns particularly well.

And this is us at the end of the trip. Another successful cabin trip.

Colorado Creek, Upper and Lower Angel Creek cabins are within the Chena River State Recreation Area. We refer to it as the Chena Rec Area. It's about 30 miles east of Fairbanks and includes 397 square miles of forests, rivers and alpine tundra. Jeremy recently became a member of the state park's northern region Citizens' Advisory Board (CAB). Because he now has this very important position, he is "required" to recreate in the area. He tells me it's his duty.
