Visiting my Uncle Tom at his workshop in Homer. Tom has been working on building yurts, cabins, teepees, and some other new shelter designs in this little canyon. He mostly lives outside. All day sea planes fly overhead and animals and humans wonder through on their way to and from the forest and the trails that start on the property. There’s a stream that runs through and a view of the bay, glaciers, and mountains. We had perfectly clear skies for stargazing each night and always fell asleep to the sounds of a crackling fire. It was absolutely beautiful, it made me think he’s really found a beautiful haven to settle into. Tom’s kind of a grumpy dude to be honest (he reminds me of his dad too), but he’s wildly dedicated to his dogs and woodworking and making adaptable housing. Apparently there’s a housing shortage in Homer and he’s been working out possible long term, affordable options. If you ever find yourself in Bear Creek and need a place to stay, he’ll probably build you one (; We stayed in the teepee. It was just built and empty but it was better than any tent situation I’m used to. My uncle lived for years in a teepee and moved out of his in Montana to live here in Homer, but has started to think about cultural appropriation and if it’s appropriate to build teepee inspired structures. I think it’s an important conversation and I’m interested to see where he goes with his structures, it’s exciting to see him learning. His dogs are really good dogs. Really sweet and all about playing. Tom also has chickens and goats running around (unpictured). Can’t wait to visit again. Here’s some pics of my Uncle Tom, aunt Katie (his sister), my friend Mel, and I.

Take a break in White Mountains National Recreation Area!

The longer days of February and March signal that it’s prime time for winter recreation in interior Alaska.

Located just an hour's drive north of Fairbanks, the vast one-million-acre White Mountains National Recreation Area is a major winter destination for area residents.

Winter is a magical time to visit the White’s. Reaching the heart of the area and its namesake white limestone peaks becomes much easier this time of year, once creeks, rivers, and bogs freeze. The mosquitoes are gone, too, replaced by the glow of northern lights and pristine snow.

The BLM grooms more than 220 miles of trails that provide access to a system of reserveable cozy public recreation cabins, making possible multi-day trips where you spend each night in a different cabin. Dog mushers, snowmobilers, cross-country skiers and fat tire bike riders all share the trail system.
