I didn’t think foraging would start for awhile. But while shoveling snow to widen a path to the outhouse, I found some Labrador Tea! My Alaska edibles books are arriving Friday with our household goods. But I am confident in identifying this particular plant.
Snow flattened Labrador Tea (Rhododendron groenlandicum, I believe, though there are 3 similar that are all edible and have the same common name)
I also saw 2 adorable Gray Jays today. They look a bit like giant, fluffy gray chickadees. C tells me he has seen them be brazen, even taking food right out of someone’s hand at fire camp.
Finally, does anyone know of if this is a dog sled track?
