Pictures of Eagle, Sunsets, Camp, and Friends


This is a picture of the fireweed on the Taylor Highway.

This is the bluff in Eagle on the Yukon River.

This is a picture of a rainbow in Eagle. The church in the left center is where Ann and Zach got married.


This is the sunset on our drive home from Eagle at midnight.



This is the sunset from one of my trips home from work around 11pm. The foreground is the Robertson River which is glacier fed and braided.


This is the ice cream drop at camp from this summer.


This is Zach, Anne, and Simeon. Zach is from PA also, Anne and Simeon are both from Alberta, Canada. Zach, Anne, and Simeon are now living in Alberta. Anne was in Glennallen with me for SMP 2004. They came to visit for a week and we got to see them and thier new baby boy Simeon. He is 7 weeks in this picture and seems so small. I cant beleive Wrangell used to be that small.





Pogo Gold Mine... where I work.

Here is a picture of the new (upper camp) that i got online.






The Aunt and our road to our property

Here is a few pictures of Tricia, Charitys sister who stayed with us for the summer. It is so nice now that she is gone, we thought we would never get rid of her. Look at this picture. She is so vain... taking pictures of herself all summer long. Staring in the mirror for hours at a time... jeesh! Now we know where Wrangell gets it from (he likes staring in the mirror and smiling, he really likes the handsome baby that lives in there)


All joking aside it was good to have Tricia stay with us for the summer. She was really busy with work at Tetlin Natl Wildlife Refuge and work at Fast Eddies motel and she still helped out alot with Wrangell and helping clear brush and cut the road/driveway into our property.

Here are two pictures of the road into our property. It was about 2000' long and i cut the first half about 20 feet wide and the last half 30 feet wide. I will have to go back and widen the begining of the road some so that we can put a drainage ditch along the edge of the road.


This is what we would do to Tricia when she got on our nerves. The longest we ever taped her up and left her for was 2.5 days, but she had the birds to keep her company. Thanks for staying with us. Who is coming up next summer to be our slave? Bubba????? Haahahaa


Wrangell Pictures

Here are a bunch of pictures of Wrangell since we haven't posted any in a long time. Hopefully this makes you grandmothers and great grandmothers happy. And old Mr. Grandpa Walker too and Mr. Grandpa Learn. And all our friends (we do have a few) who wanted to see pictures. And Matt and Kari, and Jesse and Ashley, and Emily and Uncle Sam. And the crazy aunts: Betty (tricia), Bubba (Bryanna), Soulou (susan), Byer (Violet), and last but not least ROGER IRVIN LEARN III. You know Rog that Wrangell is almost as big as you now, you better start growing or he might beat you up next time we come visit, or when you come here.
The pictures start in June and run in chronological order up until this morning.

Wrangell swimming at Lake Louise.



Wrangell is amazed by electronics and hypnotized by flashes.



Time for slopping the hog.



He kinda does look like a hog in this picture.

Awww how cute





Please Dad... just let me hold the camera... and chew on it.



Wrangell at Shen Bible Camp.


Wrangell playing in the dirt when we went to visit Ann, Zach, and Simeon.


I dont know where he gets the sucking of the thumb from. (it doesnt skip a generation)


Woah Dad! easy with the flash, i just woke up.

Here is a picture of Charity's bear. It is a brownish red color.


Her bear had really big claws, they were about 2 inches long.

Here is a picuture of Wrangell and I having a late night nap because we haven't gotten up and gone to bed yet (Mommy was out galavanting somewhere with Tricia). Notice the two bear skin rug's however. With Charitys bear hide next to mine you can really notice how brown it was.
