The days are finally growing warmer. Snow is on the horizon. We've barely had any this entire winter. A few inches are keeping the dogsleds from getting stuck on the tundra. But a few inches is not nearly enough to travel by for long. We can't go distant places and most of us are stuck just in the few roaming miles beyond the village. The ice on the Yukon River is bare- which means no traveling across it without slipping paws and sliding sleds. And then of course to the north is an array of paths between the willows that needs a bit more snow to make travel-worthy. So for now I travel upriver a ways and down river a ways. It's a very minimal area to adventure. And quite honestly, I'm getting wrestless. This warming cloudy sky is keeping me with my fingers crossed that a few flakes fall.
Not Quite Travel-Worthy
