 Millicent the moose that frequents our property. She has no kids, long legs and long lashes--what a female! In the photo she is standing in our future garage on the house. This week Pete rented the mini excavator for another couple of days. We used it to dig a trench to extend the septic line from the RV pad to the site of the future cabin, about 40'. I tried operating the mini excavator and quickly found out it takes a bit of practice to accurately dig a narrow trench.

 About 9PM on the property. The sun doesn't set until around 11PM. Alaska has the slowest summer sunsets! This past week involved some more decision making and restructuring of build plans. We decided to turn the wash house into a livable cabin for the winter.
 30 of these loads came to deliver the pit run. Another week has flown by in the blink of an eye here in Alaska. We finally rode out the record setting temperatures which ended on Wednesday. It's such a relief in so many ways to have cloudy days and temps down into the low 70s and 60s.
 How quickly can I reach that refreshing looking snow across the valley? The harsh sun at the top of the hike had me wishing for snow in July, but it was just out of my reach! My favorite holiday was this week: the 4th of July. To celebrate, we took a break from our usual work around the property and went on a hike and planned a nice meal.
