August like the rest of the summer was mostly cool and rainy. We took a ride down the beach one day in our newly arrived truck.
On August 6th Patty's birthday we took a ride to a friends camp and to do some fishing. Cathy also made a cake for Patty when we got back.
Two of these photos are of Kotz taken from the air on the return from a village trip and the rest are of another warm day in the Arctic.
The docs had a get together on the beach one day and Cathy and I joined them. All the usual grilling fare was present along with smores and all had a good time.
