: A Public Defender's Life in Alaska

So, Jesse and I went out to Nurses cabin last night. It is my goal to visit every cabin the National Wildlife Refuge. We got to tool around Tustumena lake too. I'll tell you this much: my machine scares me. I don't pretend to be some hot-dogger when it comes to these things. That 800 can move! I was going across lake ice and got too scared to go above about 85 MPH. I know the machine tops out at 126 MPH but I can't imagine going that fast. Tustumena lake is so cool. There was just nobody out there but us and the wolves. We were not lucky enough to see one but their tracks were everywhere. I can only imagine how big they were based on the tracks.
Anyhow am now back home and cleaning all the equipment. It got so warm it rained last night. My bag is waterproof but Jesse was driving like a maniac and it fell off the sled. The snow is melting and it looks like break-up out there.
