We are driving on the Kuskokwim River, our ice road.
Above: 3 person snow machine for sale at our grocery store, Simon picked one out!! 
Can you see the hidden boat, above? There is a lot of this. Abandoned boats. Yes, that's right, gas is $7.06. .... We are always looking for survival methods.... Our bedroom, not very big. I am lucky if I don't get a bruise walking by the bed... seriously..

Above & Left: The Yukon - Kuskokwim Delta Hospital
Dental & Vison part of the Hospital. They only except 2 new appointments a day. So waiting in line before they open is what is required to possibly get one of those appointments. We have not experienced this, but friends have. Also most Doctors work here for a few month rotation. Pulling teeth instead of filling issues is a norm, so we have been told.
