A Parade!?

After a relaxing 4 mile stroll through Kotzebue in, still, rather frigid temperatures, we relaxed in the hotel room until we heard police sirens.  Surprised, since little that exciting happens in Kotzebue, we looked out the window and saw the Homecoming queen in the back of a pickup doing the 'queen's wave'.  Following her were the rest of the senior class of Kotzebue High in their graduation regalia!  Fun to see.


Other interesting sites in town.

We are now used to seeing half-buried snowmachines, quads, cars
trucks, etc.  Not sure if they are really used anymore.  Just sitting in front yards.

No problem wearing a mask outdoors, it keeps you warm.  All flights
come and go out of this airport.  Alaska Airlines, Bering Air, that takes you
to the villages and a couple of bush flying companies that take out
hunters and fishermen, they typically land on gravel roads, glaciers,etc.


If you look closely, there are four boats here.  Waiting for the thaw.
