Back to Alaska

So everyone knows I am back in Alaska. So far its going really well. This year on cabin crew is me, Jeff (my boss) and Ben he is from Vermont. Ben knows a lot and has worked with Jeff on Cabin crew here for 3 summers now but a couple years ago so now he is back for another summer. He has built is own house in Vermont so he knows construction, so overall I will learn a from the both of them. I went to Swan lake for a couple day for work the second week I was here and this coming week I will be going out to Castel River cabin for a night. Then the 18th-20th I will be in kake for the kids fishing Derby. The the week of the 20th I will be at Petersburg lake with the YCC and wilderness crew. I am at Kidos Kave right now (the bar) and we are watching the world cup game on a projector screen. Cara and I went to 4 yard sales this morning and I got a cast iron grill ($8), a pressure cooker ($15) and a fire proof safe ($2), so a good Saturday morning so far. I know I need to post photos of the boat and other things but I haven't taken any photos yet so they will be coming. I got my first pay check yesterday at midnight so I will now start my budget. I have been fishing but have not caught anything or gotten any bits yet. They are closing the slough for the whole summer to salmon but I can still go and try to caught some trout. I did see a bear already when I was out at Swan lake it was a big healthy black bear and I will post a photo once I get it together. But overall, its going great, work is good and it should be a busy summer with work, the crew is great and its a good group of people in town this summer. I have been putting my name around for any kind of winter work so at this point I fell like I will find something and my name will be passed around town. But overall nothing really new, just life is going great and the idea of not having to go back to college at the end of the summer is awesome! Hope everyone is doing good and I promise start to respond to voice mails and write letters!
