Yesterday afternoon we took a short trip to Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, to see Jake and Nancy Jacobs, friends we met at the Rose Bowl rally. They just returned a couple weeks ago from about 70 days in Alaska and Canada, and Don had many questions for them. They shared their pictures, stories, hints and interesting acquisitions. We saw their freezer shelf of halibut that they caught, two chunks of glacier ice that Nancy picked up walking on a glacier, and the diamond willow sticks that Jake is making into walking sticks, which cost $100 in Alaska when finished. An interesting and fun afternoon!
Jake, showing us one of the willow sticks that he already removed the bark, but still needs to scrape the diamond areas, sand it, and apply at least six coats of lacquer.
