Kicking off "A year in the life"...Day 1 - May 22, 2014

As we have decided to make this upcoming school year our last here in Russian Mission,  and seeing as we have decided to stay here for the summer this year accordingly, I can finally get around to doing something I have wanted to for a while:  Make a photo essay of life here in the Alaskan bush for an entire year.  The whole thing, one day at a time.  So, in addition to any updates on hunting, trapping, fishing, etc, or other outings, I will be posting at least one pic for every day this entire year as "The pic of the day".  There may not always be a ton of explanation if the pic is not part of some other grand scheme, but there should be a great story to be told by the end.  For those family and friends following along, make sure you don't miss any just because story posts and whatnot else break things up once in a while.  Don't forget you can search by tags at the lower right of this page if you scroll down, so you can see all the "Pic of the Day" posts at the same time in order.  Anyway, seeing as today is the last day of School this year, and next year will likely end around the same time (when we will be leaving), I choose today as the first day.  Any posts with the tag "A Year In The Life" photo essay, will contain the pic of the day somewhere in them.  At the end of the year, we may go ahead and make a coffee table book of them all like we have done calendars and books in the past.   Enjoy!  I know we will!

Today's pic to kick things off:  Warren hiding out in an old boat cabin (removed from the boat, as you can see) down by the Yukon on our walk today.
