60 degrees North. The Arctic Circle. My home.

This blog chronicles 365 days above the Arctic Circle in Northwestern Alaska. From the cold dark days of January, to the 18 hour ice fishing days on the ocean, to the 24 hours of daylight and summer softball, to the crisp fall days gathering food and back to the cold, windy days of the hoidays. Enjoy!

Sunday Breakfasts

Up here, most Sunday breakfasts are the same.  Sourdough Hotcakes, Bacon and Eggs. 

Every time we make a huge breakfast like that, I think about how similar the Eskimos and the Amish are.  My parents still live "off the grid" in a huge log cabin he built, using solar and wind energy (with supplemental gas powered generator) for electricity, wood stoves for heat, and haul their own water.  They fish, hunt, pick berries, plant potatoes, etc.  They have a truck and go to Fred Meyers but it's mostly just living off the land.
