Musk Ox Farm

An itch to scratch.














This is where we stopped and had lunch today. It was pretty neat to see these creatures that are from another age. Alex Trebek is a sponsor of 4 of these animals and was just at the farm a couple of weeks ago. He is helping to bring them back from the brink of extinction. The natives take the fur closest to the skin and weave then knit scarves, hats etc. Very soft and supposedly much warmer than wool without any of the allergies. We had dinner with Patti, Dan and the work crew from Maine that are building the new house. We are at the Ship Creek RV Park and will be here for at least three nights. Pictures tomorrow.
