Ada Boat112 viewsThis old landmark from the 1920's era is no longer in existence. Vandals torched Ada boat many years ago and this popular land mark is gone. this is the only photograph that I know of . thie popular land mark is 23 miles outside the village of Point HOpe on the North Side of the beach headed south. Its abscense will be sorely missed as this was a rest stop before procedding across the ocean ice 40 miles to the entrance to the Kupak river.

Boots68 viewsMukluks drying in the wind at a whaling camp. Caribou ribs are available if you are cold.
Just grab that hacksaw and cut strips of thin meat and do not chew them but swallow them whole.
Now fill your stomach full, your stomach has to work very hard to digest all that frozen meat that is RAW.
YOU will experience something you never knew possible, the body heat that is generated is so much that
at 40 below zero we are talking clothes off because we are too hot ! This is "quaq" raw frozen meat or fish.

Kathy Rock Age 10230 viewsThis lovely young girl is 5 miles out on the ocean ice pack sitting on a snowmobile @ 40 below zero.
As I brought the camera up she started to smile.. I said NO! please do not do that. I spent a half hour
talking to this young girl. I told her, I am not here, you can't see me. Look straight past me as though
I wasn't even here. Each time I brought the camera up, her face would change. I said Kathy NO!
LOOK RIGHT PAST ME... I am not here.. YES !! YES !! -=[click]=-
