Point Barrow

Today we drove out to Point Barrow which is just outside of town to see where everyone is fishing. Toby has his fishing and hunting license now and is anxiously waiting to go. We have to ask for permission to hunt on UIC land and caribou population is decreasing quickly. It appears that too many females are being killed during the season. We would like to get two caribou, one for the senior center or the elderly lady that we met at church and one for us. 

Some people put out nets to fish and others use the rod and reel method. I don't know the limits on fish, but you can always look it up online.

Sorry about the pictures most of them are shot from inside the car because we couldn't stop. (There was a car behind us.)

Chukchi Sea

Cake Eater Road with a fence line. It helps with snow drifts. 

College campus and more

Lots of vocational work goes on out here. 

More pics of the Chukchi

The ice comes in and goes depending upon the wind.

The football field has the Chukchi on one side and the Beaufort Sea on the other side.

Its amazing that all this is here because of one woman in Florida. Google the story. It's beautiful.

It shows a better explanation for where the seas are located. 

Fish camp/hunting camp

Pictures of the Beaufort Sea at the Point. This is amazing! What a wonderful world that we have been entrusted with to be stewards. 

 A little further down from the Point.

Not much out there, but our vehicle was not going to make it. 

Zoomed out picture of it. 

I can understand why sailors believed that if you sailed far enough you would fall off the Earth. Its so flat and you can see for miles. 

The science teacher in me loves the clouds up here. 

Chukchi on the way back to town. 

The tundra headed towards the Gas Building.

It adds a bit of green into the picture.
