We took a trip to Alpine Creek Lodge during the week, looking for caribou. I don't remember the last time I was this cold. The ride in from Cantwell was particularly miserable, with howling winds. Even when you stopped the sled, you couldn't warm up. The windchill was always present.

My brother and I had animals in the crosshairs on the ride in, but decided to pass them up. We were just too damn cold and didn't want to deal with them.

All grumbling aside, we did manage to bag a caribou on our way out. The sun was shining and the wind had stopped, so the trip out was much better than the ride in.
