This photo was taken during a December pulk-sled trek in the Indian Peaks Wilderness of Colorado. The intent of this trip was to photograph Lone Eagle Peak in winter conditions. However, massive snow accumulation at the higher elevations made it impossible to continue even with the aid of snowshoes. Fortunately, this trip was saved the next morning when this small owl plucked a squirrel from it's nest and perched on a nearby boulder long enough for me to take a few shots before it flew off again. Although this was a lucky shot, I find that the more time I spend outdoors the more opportunities I am granted to take advantage of fleeting moments like this. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55491c87e4b0d688c9d8f471/1636936338118-EHI7K1P3QHB0V4N6MBAR/Cautious-Bear-EOSR2237-Edit.jpg Wildlife Album https://bakersaim.com/canada-fishing daily 0.75 2024-05-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55491c87e4b0d688c9d8f471/1587705564059-26LY78D91TU44XY6KYN9/_MAT2647-Edit.jpg Canada Fishing Gallery - Sara on McKay lake 2013 (Copy) Sara on McKay lake 2013 Sara holding up a dandy pike on McKay lake in 2013.

In the lower 1/3rd of the image the Trans-Alaska pipeline can be seen with a work truck driving along kicking up dust. The pipeline is 800 miles long and pumps oil from the northern to the southern coast where it can be shipped out and refined. Although this is called a highway it is incredibly remote with only a few outposts for supplies along the way. It pays to be prepared up here; I am always checking how much fuel I have and carry an extra set of any critical gear. I try to drive the highway at least once a year to hunt. It is an unforgiving but extremely rewarding environment to experience. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55491c87e4b0d688c9d8f471/1663159895844-KIU7QJHO9038LXI7TSXT/EOSR9456-Edit.jpg Misc Photo Album - Mountain Layers The north slope of the Brooks range in Alaska.

This area is an excellent place for early winter hikes. The weather was perfect on our side of the lake, but looking across the lake the peaks had snow whipping off their ridges from intense wind.

(Copy) The Dalton Highway AKA the Haul road. In the lower 1/3rd of the image the Trans-Alaska pipeline can be seen with a work truck driving along kicking up dust. The pipeline is 800 miles long and pumps oil from the northern to the southern coast where it can be shipped out and refined. Although this is called a highway it is incredibly remote with only a few outposts for supplies along the way. It pays to be prepared up here; I am always checking how much fuel I have and carry an extra set of any critical gear. I try to drive the highway at least once a year to hunt. It is an unforgiving but extremely rewarding environment to experience. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55491c87e4b0d688c9d8f471/1663159895844-KIU7QJHO9038LXI7TSXT/EOSR9456-Edit.jpg Alaska 2 - Mountain Layers (Copy) Mountain Layers The north slope of the Brooks range in Alaska.

This area is an excellent place for early winter hikes. The weather was perfect on our side of the lake, but looking across the lake the peaks had snow whipping off their ridges from intense wind. Photographing this time of year in Alaska is a treat with the low angle of the sun; it brings out interesting details and often bathes the landscape in golden light for several hours at a time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55491c87e4b0d688c9d8f471/1668277300487-BRFRN0MG29N6ERUEB2A7/EOSR7447-Pano-Edit-2.jpg Alaska 2 - Sitka Panorama (Copy) Sitka Panorama A panorama of the Rockwell lighthouse which is a familiar viewpoint from the town of Sitka.

The ground is unstable, soft and soaked. The grass also grows in large humps called “tussocks” which are notoriously difficult to walk over. The tops of tussocks are rounded and make stepping on them awkward. Stepping between the tussocks isn’t much better because there are usually small channels of stagnant water intersecting them. https://bakersaim.com/florida-jan-19 daily 0.75 2024-05-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55491c87e4b0d688c9d8f471/1636410111663-5B1B2TOWNUGQPIQF4F13/BAKE1859.jpg Florida -

This photo was taken during a December pulk-sled trek in the Indian Peaks Wilderness of Colorado. The intent of this trip was to photograph Lone Eagle Peak in winter conditions. However, massive snow accumulation at the higher elevations made it impossible to continue even with the aid of snowshoes. Fortunately, this trip was saved the next morning when this small owl plucked a squirrel from it's nest and perched on a nearby boulder long enough for me to take a few shots before it flew off again. Although this was a lucky shot, I find that the more time I spend outdoors the more opportunities I am granted to take advantage of fleeting moments like this. https://bakersaim.com/caribout-hunting-aug-22 daily 0.75 2024-05-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55491c87e4b0d688c9d8f471/1662740400570-HDH02JB9AUT9PN7M277P/EOSR9484.jpg Caribout Hunting - Aug 22 - Successful Hunt (Copy) Successful Hunt Lora and I had a successful caribou hunt this year. We had to pack this animal out on our backs roughly 6 miles. It was hard! Lora has ran multiple marathons and told me this experience was more difficult. We also had other issues; prior to going out we had spoken to 4 other groups of hunters who had been in the area multiple days and hadn’t seen any animals. Despite these dismal reports we decided to stick to our plan of hunting this area. We were somewhat confident we could find animals based on our observation of Caribou movement from previous years. With a little bit of luck and careful observation we were able to make it happen. We were long overdue for red meat in the freezer. Salmon is great but we are excited to have something different! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55491c87e4b0d688c9d8f471/1662911867692-6QQ59GB32DAFZ7LD2NY6/EOSR9365.jpg Caribout Hunting - Aug 22 - Truck Basecamp (Copy) Truck Basecamp After a failed float down a nearby river we dried out the gear and had to plan what to do next. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55491c87e4b0d688c9d8f471/1662911871613-VT6SI8CLB2OOO4IKJT50/EOSR9470.jpg Caribout Hunting - Aug 22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55491c87e4b0d688c9d8f471/1662911876564-BJ06DXCJE54X1FO5FT4C/EOSR9517.jpg Caribout Hunting - Aug 22 - Late night meat packing.

(Copy) The Dalton Highway AKA the Haul road. In the lower 1/3rd of the image the Trans-Alaska pipeline can be seen with a work truck driving along kicking up dust. The pipeline is 800 miles long and pumps oil from the northern to the southern coast where it can be shipped out and refined. Although this is called a highway it is incredibly remote with only a few outposts for supplies along the way. It pays to be prepared up here; I am always checking how much fuel I have and carry an extra set of any critical gear. I try to drive the highway at least once a year to hunt. It is an unforgiving but extremely rewarding environment to experience. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55491c87e4b0d688c9d8f471/1663322495559-NY37X7MIMC6R403SE8ZX/EOSR9456-Edit.jpg Caribout Hunting - Aug 22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55491c87e4b0d688c9d8f471/1664297951890-UETH1XKBK43P86RJLJWH/EOSR9386.jpg Caribout Hunting - Aug 22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55491c87e4b0d688c9d8f471/1664297965395-V3AOB1TGFMZLPP2HGT5W/EOSR9411.jpg Caribout Hunting - Aug 22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55491c87e4b0d688c9d8f471/1664297982157-OY920CPHW2UAOF8IDOIE/EOSR9473.jpg Caribout Hunting - Aug 22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55491c87e4b0d688c9d8f471/1664297994677-EQE5HCOV6GNK6D9I8BFR/EOSR9480.jpg Caribout Hunting - Aug 22 - A photo prior to the stalk (Copy) A photo prior to the stalk The Caribou we ended up harvesting was on the right. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55491c87e4b0d688c9d8f471/1664298018577-89BDQEFG5VRUTT26J8VZ/EOSR9498.jpg Caribout Hunting - Aug 22 - Gutted, quartered, and ready to be packed out (Copy) Gutted, quartered, and ready to be packed out https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55491c87e4b0d688c9d8f471/1664298018469-8KC0K0C3ILAT7VGDA62R/EOSR9505.jpg Caribout Hunting - Aug 22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55491c87e4b0d688c9d8f471/1664298027462-4FXAYVOTHF7Z4CYFABTL/EOSR9512.jpg Caribout Hunting - Aug 22 - Heavy Load (Copy) Heavy Load This photo was taken after quartering the caribou and packing it a mile or so back to camp (which can be seen in the distance) The next day we were able to pack it out in two big loads. it was incredibly exhausting and we didn’t finish packing until almost 11 pm! https://bakersaim.com/2020-alaskan-summer-family-visit daily 0.75 2024-05-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55491c87e4b0d688c9d8f471/1597534512225-QQ6V1LXEVZTZA51DN3ZF/EOSR9121.jpg 2020 Alaskan Summer Family Visit - 2020 Alaskan Summer Family Visit - Gold Cord Lake Picnic (Copy) 2020 Alaskan Summer Family Visit - Gold Cord Lake Picnic A wonderful late summer day for a picnic at Gold Cord Lake near Hatchers pass.

We had to pack this animal out on our backs roughly 6 miles. It was hard! Lora has ran multiple marathons and told me this experience was more difficult. We also had other issues; prior to going out we had spoken to 4 other groups of hunters who had been in the area multiple days and hadn’t seen any animals. Despite these dismal reports we decided to stick to our plan of hunting this area. We were somewhat confident we could find animals based on our observation of Caribou movement from previous years. With a little bit of luck and careful observation we were able to make it happen. We were long overdue for red meat in the freezer. Salmon is great but we are excited to have something different! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55491c87e4b0d688c9d8f471/1662911867692-6QQ59GB32DAFZ7LD2NY6/EOSR9365.jpg Adventure Albums Index - Truck Basecamp (Copy) Truck Basecamp After a failed float down a nearby river we dried out the gear and had to plan what to do next. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55491c87e4b0d688c9d8f471/1662911871613-VT6SI8CLB2OOO4IKJT50/EOSR9470.jpg Adventure Albums Index https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55491c87e4b0d688c9d8f471/1662911876564-BJ06DXCJE54X1FO5FT4C/EOSR9517.jpg Adventure Albums Index - Late night meat packing.

(Copy) The Dalton Highway AKA the Haul road. In the lower 1/3rd of the image the Trans-Alaska pipeline can be seen with a work truck driving along kicking up dust. The pipeline is 800 miles long and pumps oil from the northern to the southern coast where it can be shipped out and refined. Although this is called a highway it is incredibly remote with only a few outposts for supplies along the way. It pays to be prepared up here; I am always checking how much fuel I have and carry an extra set of any critical gear. I try to drive the highway at least once a year to hunt.

The ground is unstable, soft and soaked. The grass also grows in large humps called “tussocks” which are notoriously difficult to walk over. The tops of tussocks are rounded and make stepping on them awkward. Stepping between the tussocks isn’t much better because there are usually small channels of stagnant water intersecting them. https://bakersaim.com/outings-and-essays-TRY9H/new-portfolio-item monthly 0.5 2024-05-14
