Counting Our Blessings Today

Where would we start to express how thankful we are to be able to meet so many beautiful people over the past years. When we opened Alaska Haven, we felt strongly that the Lord opened this door for us. Little did we now how He would continuously bless us through it. Sitting here this morning homeschooling our children, drinking a cup of coffee and enjoying the beautiful view of our winter wonderland, we receive this thoughtful and special gift from one of our loved guest. I can’t begin to express how much this meant to us. With my husbands great passion for trees, I am certain California is on our to do list this year:) THANK YOU for your friendship, encouragement and LOVE!! The Proctor Family

Beautiful Aurora

What a miraculous Aurora show we got to see last night right here at Alaska Haven. Wrapped up in blankets, we enjoyed sharing this beautiful display and evening with our guest.

Caribou Hunt

Living in Alaska is more than an adventure, it truly is a lifestyle. We have been “working hard” hunting in order to provide meat for the upcoming season. After tracking the moving of the caribou herds for a week up north, we decided to drive up the famous Haul Road reaching our destination at around 25o miles north of the Arctic Circle. The remote and vast landscapes of the north are truly breathtaking and humbling. Stalking various herds of caribou for a few days, ranging from 50 to 500 in number, we finally were able to get within 30 yards to harvest one caribou with a bow and arrow. After driving 350 miles, sleeping in a tent for several nights at -20 degrees fahrenheit, and hunting all day, we headed for home thankful, cold and very tired.

Dog Sled Team

After this successful caribou hunt, we enjoyed processing the meat as a family. This time we chose to make Bacon Beer Caribou Brats and Jalapeño Cheese Summer Sausage. They turned out amazing and can only be tasted here at Alaska Haven.
