Tukkuthkutchin  

Tukkuthkutchin Indians (‘squint-eyed people’) A Kutchin tribe at the head of Porcupine River, occupying the territory between the headwaters of Porcupine river and Ft. McPherson, in the northern Yukon Territory, Canada.  Their eyes are frequently small and oblique, hence their name.  Although barbarous they are more intelligent than other tribes. They are a commercial people, living by barter. Though good hunters, rarely lacking food, they do not hunt furs, but exchange their beads, which form the circulating medium for the peltry of the neighboring tribes.  They are fond of oratorical display, and in their harangues the voice of the speaker gradually rises, becoming a screech at the climax. They subsist at all seasons almost exclusively on caribou, which they hunt on the mountains.  Formerly they were numerous, but by 1866 they had become reduced to 15 hunters or 40 men. Dawson1 gave the number of inhabitants of Pee river and La Pierres House, the Tatlitkutchin and Tukkuthkutchin together, as 337, consisting of 165 makes and 152 females. Morice estimated their number at 150 in 1906.

Yes, I am sad to report this was the site of yet another vicious tumbleweed attack. They are completely running amok today!!!

Oh my, where to begin. I try not to do cut and paste logs, but I didn't take the best notes today and we hit a ton of caches today. It's official, peacelovepi and I are working on the 360 degrees of Colorado challenge and I'm racing to get to 3000 finds. We came out to get some rays around the airport today. The weather didn't look like it was going to be bad, but we both underestimated the power of the wind. And the tumbleweeds. We did some power trailing, she was the driver and I was the runner. LOL I got absolutely accosted by tumbleweeds today - at multiple stops! I even had thorns in my pockets by the end of our run! Between the chill and the wind, logs were signed as "la pi" and they were usually signed wherever we could get to easiest/first. I thought we were going to cache all day, but by the time we got to the end of the listed caches here we were ready to call it a day. A big thank you to all the COs for the smileys and the 360 degree rays! This one was find #2961 for me.

Its been a long hot summer in Texas, I've been trying to get out and do a caching trip a couple of times this summer, but it never worked out. Finally managed to get a week off, and am so happy to be out here in Colorado.

Trying to get the the Dragon on the last Hidden Creature day. Of course it's raining. We saved a row of these as drafts, and took pictures of the caches instead of signing the log. Unfortunately, the pictures did not save when i came back to post.

Apparently I am no longer able to find a cache without being accompanied by the lovable and always cheerful herndonrd. Today was no exception, as I was out and about caching with herndonrd simply because I make him look good. He typically finds the caches while I look in all the wrong places. Today was an especially exciting day since I let him drive, which is like going to a carnival except you can't get fried Twinkies.

But I digress.

Today my goal was to find 24 caches (no more, no less) so I could complete another challenge that I signed far too long ago. Since herndonrd was occupied operating the heavy machinery, it was my job to do the fetching. Fortunately this was a quick and easy one. After I did the whole sign and replace thing we celebrated our victory by getting in the car and then driving off to another cache. Thanks for the fun hide and for getting me outside on such a beautiful day.

P. S. No animals (humans or otherwise) were harmed in the writing of this log.

Had the whole day to waste waiting for my coworker to get into town, so I figured I would grab some easy ones. This is so not fun doing park and grabs by yourself. Oh well...TFTCBigSmile

Discovered a nice row of 22 caches on the geocaching map so I headed south on a beautiful summer day in pursuit of the dragon souvenir. It was a peaceful road this morning. Thanks for the history and placement, mondou2!
