Studded tires that is. October 1st was the first (official) day that motorist of Kodiak could put their studded tires on their vehicles. We currently do not own a pair of studded tires and hope that our 4 wheel drive Tundra, Sylvia will get us through winter.
Since we arrived on July 3rd, the snow has melted off the higher elevated mountains and is starting to reappear. It is really cool to watch the lower/closer mountains change colors just like trees do in the lower 48. Andy and I noticed the other day that it looked like someone had poured caramel sauce on top of the mountains and we are watching it slowly drip down day by day.
So we took the 4 wheelers out last week and had a great time. Andy was very patient with me and was a very good teacher. On our island there are more ATV trails that paved driveable roads. I can't wait to see what I have been missing. By request, I have included a picture of me, my bike and my new helmet. Action photos will come next post.
The bears continue to be out and about and have proven to not be scared of humans. My friend Kendra had one in her back yard on Saturday to only be shot in the butt with rubber bulletts by Military Police. His butt must not have been stinging to badly because he returned Tuesday to her front yard this time.
I hope everyone is doing well. I am trying to make a conscious effort of posting more often. We definitely do miss our friends and family back in the lower 48.
