These caches are used by Alaskan natives to store supplies for pike-harvesting season in this network of sloughs and lakes. That's a raven on top of the left one.

A cow moose with her calf clamber out of the slough we were fishing for pike.

Out in this pike slough we made an interesting fine, a long-decayed moose carcass. Against my protest, my dad lifted the skull out of the water as a potential souvenir. However, it wasn't quite broken down to nothing-but-bone yet, and it smelled horrible, so it went back in the river.
