On top of the world!!














This was our Friday 9th engagement. We took a 9am domestic flight from Fairbanks to Fort Yukon. Its approx. 45 minutes flight to Fort Yukon. Fort Yukon is right on the tip of the Article Circle so we can safely say we have been to the top of the world!! First stop was at the community centre which is the equivalent of our USP Centres (Campuses). Took a quick look around before Richard, a member of the centre advisory committee took us around Fort Yukon. Population here is about 500 people. 2nd stop, Richard's place where we got to see some dogs - huskies & baby ones as well. Richard was showing us his outdoor natural refrigerator (top pic) where he stored all kinds of fish & game animal & smoking salmon area (bottom pic). 3rd stop was @ the Fort Yukon School (top pic) & its back to the community centre for lunch.
