Today is the first day of my ten day vacation. Today is also the day Craig moves back to the lower 48. He has had enough of Alaska and is moving back to Sioux Falls South Dakota. So after today I am going to take a break from blogging to enjoy my family. But I want you all to be prepared for the adventures ahead.
Fun times await in Feb at Katmai as the first ever wolf project begins. We will be trying to collar nine wolves from three different areas. At least that is the goal. We will also be doing flights looking for moose to see where they are wintering. Then preparation for the spring bear surveys will begin. All kinds of adventures wait after I get back.
Not only is Feb full of adventures in Katmai but King Salmon also as the winterfest begins. To celebrate winter there is the annual penguin dip. What is that? Well mighty Alaskans cut a hole in the ice of Bristol Bay and take a quick swim. In Minnesota we called it the polar bear swim as we thought the arctic would be the coldest place to be in the water. Alaskans, I guess, think Antarctica is colder. Anyways, the swim takes place on the fourth of Feb. so you need to prepare.
See you in ten days!
