Our transportation of choice to get us up the river to the lodge we run is a flat-bottomed jon boat powered by the mighty Go-Devil engine. Our current Go-Devil is getting old and cries a lot, so Taylor made a daring journey to North Pole, the Christmas-year-round town near Fairbanks to buy a new boat and Go-Devil from the Go-Devil Jedi of the World, Stu.
Here is typical North Pole street scene:
Here is Taylor's room at the B&B he stayed in. Crossbows, Swedish songbooks, Christmas trees, and Lord Fauntleroy figurines all together as one- I think the theme was 'Christmas with the Scandinavian Robin Hood':
And here is our new beauty, a 24-foot government-issue-only Go-Devil. The orange bucket is covering up the prop. The loverly landscape behind is typical interior Alaska scenery:
You may all think that we are getting pretty excited about nerdy things like new swamp boats, and you would be right. So of course there are going to be many more pictures of the two boats, both with fresh coats of paint and new names (the old Go-Devil, which has been bequeathed to me, by Taylor, is now named George Washington Hayduke).
