We took the last boat trip of the year for us today. Allen had some property inspections to do in Kwethluk, which is about an hour upriver of Bethel. We made it there and back with no complications.

Unlike Bethel, Kwethluk does not have a small boat harbor. People just run their boat onto the beach and park it there. We anchored our boat with driftwood on top of our anchor ;)

This is one of the churches in Kwethluk. It was the nicest building there that we saw.

View off the "main road"

The "main road". There are not many automobiles in Kwethluk. People mostly use 4 wheelers or walk. For that matter, there are more trails and boardwalks than there are "roads".

Allen & Aaron outside the village store. See the 4 wheelers? And the boardwalk... because the ground is really muddy... and uneven. It was difficult to walk around the areas where there was not a boardwalk.

Village playground

Aaron loves a prominent feature of the village... mud puddles

Allen & Aaron running through the puddles... Allen wanted to wear his "glasses" from the Mr. Potato Head to be like Daddy... Daddy's glasses fit better.

Trees on the riverbank on the way back from Bethel. We don't have trees in Bethel... ;) but here they are changing colors.

Allen & Aaron (the other hand) playing a game on the boat - they thought it was funny

Allen gives us a big smile

Kuskokwim River fish camp

Another fish camp... it's a seasonal activity. People will go live at their fish camps and fish/dry/smoke the fish/etc.

This is just a fun curiousity... a sailboat on the Kuskokwim River. The kids really liked it.
