Fair Weather Camping

 

One time in mid-April when the weather was nice and warm, Agnes and Alvin Owletuck went camping behind Mt. Pilcher in Kayakutaq. Their daughter, Clara, was about six years old, and she was their only child at the time. They traveled back there by dog team, and would also hitch a small sled up to six pups for Clara who traveled alongside them. This was the time before snowmachines were invented, she said. It took them a total of four hours to go and come back. The pups would run alongside the older dogs. It was very nice and warm, and it was always fun because it never rained.

Agnes remembers another time when she went salmon berry picking in July above Pilot Station in a slough where there was an old cabin. While they were picking their berries they stashed their camp gear inside the cabin. The weather was nice and clear, and the breeze was just right. Altogether they picked more than ten gallons of salmon berries. Agnes said she really never enjoyed wet, rainy days because it was so glum!
