Rick made it back safe from his "power trip" to the bush. This time he and Jake went to Nome, St. Michaels, Stebbins, and Brevig Mission. This time he came back bearing gifts. He brought back some wonderful homemade items from the village people.....aka Eskimos!
He brought me a traditional Eskimo doll with an ivory carved face and rabbit, beaver and spotted seal clothes. A carved walrus tusk and a spotted seal wallet with my name in beads. He also brought back this spotted seal and beaver hat that he is sporting in this picture. It was really cold, windchill of -50, so he said that hat saved him! Brooks flew up to Brevig while Rick and Jake were there to hunt Musk Ox. Both Brooks and Jake were successful, but I'll let them post their pictures on their blogs! So, I guess we'll see what musk ox tastes like......... Their trips out to the bush are always full of adventures!
