Doroshin Bay cabin. Originally built in the 50's by a local homesteader. Used to be a gold mine in the area. A great place to eat hotdogs and sip blackberry brandy.
Wolf tracks on the lake.
Lonely little tree on a rock.

Love that cabin...the caption for the 2nd photo could be:
''Earthlings, I have come in peace''

Very nice photos, Rance.
Forget about eating hotdogs (at least for me. Can't stand the taste). But I would love to stay warm in the cabin for a few days, and having a little charcoal BBQ grill outside for grilling steaks with onions and garlic every now and then. I wouldn't mind a nice cup of Southern AU or Chilean cabernet with the steaks, or even a bottle of Moose Head.

What is "Awesome"?  Sorry, I don't understand. I live in Anadyr, Chukotka which as you know closed Alaska. Unfortunately I never visited Wasilla but I was in Nome and Anchorage. |

My nickname “Лютый» is written in Russian. It is pronounced as «lyuty» and translated «ferocious». This name Russians call the wolf sometimes. I live in Chukotka, which closed Alaska across the Bering strait. The nature of these two beautiful and wonderful regions is quite similar.
To your attention a little more views of Chukotka

Either way, welcome |
Thank you very much!
I hope that the language barrier will not be an obstacle here. |
