Emmonak pictures

40 degrees in Juneau and rain.
Snowmobile is the preferred way of travel in Emmonak. I saw the sleds loaded with kids, groceries, wood and even moose meat. They use the sled to get drift wood to burn.


Thia quad had cases of eggs on it. It was about 20 below zero when I took this picture.


The boat is on the bank of the Yukon River. They just get covered with snow until the spring ice melt. That is the Yukon River behind the boat. The ice was at least 4 feet thick here. People traveled on the Yukon with their snowmachines, quads and even cars. (Cars were very rare but I did see them.)
