Up the Yukon

The guys are getting tired but not too tired for a trip up the Yukon with one of the locals. Burr took Dennis and Roger for a boat ride in his motorized canoe. When asked about his goal in life Burr says, "to wear out my boat and motor." While traveling down the river Dennis spotted some Dall rams on the mountains. He was told he's one of the lucky few. Not many people have an opportunity to see the Dall sheep. The Dall sheep are known for their magnificent curling horns as you can see in the photo. But their sightseeing was not done. They met up with some hunters in another boat. As they approached the shore Dennis saw a large wolf jump up in the air. From there the action was fast. Burr was out of the boat to join the other hunters and Dennis and Roger were left to get the boat to shore. Before long the wolf had been hunted down. The size of the wolf was very impressive - the size of a man. Those are going to be some interesting pictures. Well, it's not all play - Dennis was quite tired this evening after installing tongue and groove flooring in Nick's house. These were heavy 4 x 8 pieces of flooring. The day ended a little earlier than usual.
