Wrong Way to Cuilnguq

 

On July 21, Mary, Fedusia, Roberta, Michael, Jackie, Jeremy, Jordan, Lois, Sophie Ann and I went to Cuilnguq for one night. We packed the things that we needed, got gas and a hose from Jackie's boat and rode by boat to Cuilnguq. The ride was very long because we got lost for about four hours!

We had taken the Pilot Station slough by mistake. I was wondering why we were headed to Pilot Station instead of Cuilnguq. We finally stopped above Pilot Station for awhile and Lois, Roberta, Jackie, and Michael started rod and reeling. Then we got ready and left for Cuilnguq.

While heading to Cuilnguq, Lois, Sophie Ann, and I were getting bored and we started to listen to music and talk about any old thing. Then Sophie Ann said that she had a headache from laughing too much, and I said, "I'll show you how to cure it.". So I rubbed my hands together and started to massage Sophie Ann's head until she started laughing even more and made Roberta, Mary, and Fedusia wonder what Kathy was doing to her.

After ten minutes passed, we saw a bull moose on land across from us. Then five minutes later it started to rain. Lois took Roberta's raincoat and put it over our heads and we listened to music until we finally reached Cuilnguq. It took us eight hours to get to Cuilnguq.

After arriving there, we looked around for a camping spot. When we found one it was on a damp spot and we had to cut some branches down for the tent. After we put the tent up, we ate and went to look for berries on the tundra. After we picked berries, we went back to our camp where the weather got a little rough that night.

The next day we got up and went looking for more berries. After we picked some berries, we went back and ate. Then Lois, Jackie and I went fishing with our rods and reels. Jackie caught one pike and before we left one of the old women cooked it. In the late afternoon we started to head home. While we were heading home, Roberta,sun Jeremy and I sat in front of the boat. When we were half way out to Takchak, I told Jeremy that there was a little bug on his cheek, and he took his jacket off and started to move around real fast. He killed the little bug and it fell inside his shirt. All of us in the boat were laughing at him because he looked so funny the way he got so scared of that little bug. When we reached the mouth of Takchak, we thought we had run out of gas, so above the bluffs we slowed down then went fast again.

The trip to Cuilnguq was a lot of fun, but long, thanks to our wrong turn on the slough!
