Well, I have to say us Alaskans have been waiting for something like this. My husband is very happy and I already went and got all the hats and t-shirts......Do you think they are going to make it, or swallow it all?
OMG, the mosquito herds as big as the caribou herds!!!
Camping at Montana Creek (north of Wasilla) was always an adventure, keep the spray handy for the hummingbird size squitoes and the guns handy for the grizzlies!!!
Stopping in Turnagain Arm and watching the Dall sheep on the mountain across the arm...
I remember as a kid watching moose, sometimes fifteen or more, around our house, winters in Homer. My bro sent me an email with small blackies snooping around his pickup.
Heck stopping on the arm? Did you ever climb the arm? What an experience it is. We would stop round about Beluga Point, cross the highway and climb to our hearts content. When the tide was high we would chase the sheep up higher and higher just to do some whale watching.
The Bird House....it burned, but has been rebuilt.
Portage Glacier, oh the times we had there when the parking lot would be covered in ice and the wind would blow our truck around the lot. LOL
In 92 or was it 93 when Mt. Spurr erupted. What a PARTY that was!! 92 I believe.
Portage Glacier is so different now...And Beluga Point was really cool! Awww J, glad to see you back here. Maybe we should call this Anyone from AK instead of the WILD....
Oh the memories from my childhood, being on boats from 4:30 am to whenever we caught our limit....no dinner until we got back to camp usually around 8ish....Hee hee, my dad says I have a bad attitude about his boat...LOL
Anyway, glad to see you on this thread, indeed you loved and still love Alaska...
Before my parents left Homer (due to Mom's health ) Mount Augustine popped it's cork. She said Homer, to the east of the volcano, was covered! I don't remember what year that was, but she sent me a sample of the dust in a small ziplock. It was a very fine powder, and today, probably wouldn't make it through the mail...!LOL
And, ya, walking around on the arm, the sheep weren't too concerned, and practically picking up "gooey duck" clams down on the flats.
I vaguely recall the big quake in '64 that nearly wiped out the southern Kenai.
Portage Resaurant was the first place I'd ever eaten a French Dip sandwich. Yich, yuch, eeeww nasty!!. My Dad took me with him to Anchorage to get parts for our snowmachines, and there was this incredible race machine there. He said if I could lift the front he'd bring it home. I was maybe seven or eight, but I pulled on that thing sooo hard (it didn't budge!)
Northern lights.....I tried my hardest to explain them to Davy, she is too young to remember so I told her we would look it up on the net....I haven't yet, but i will..Good night to my Alaska frineds! I can't wait to see what kind of memories you stir up for me.....G'Night
Dang! Watching the N-lites when you could see your breath and it was soo cold your nose hairs froze. Such a beauty!
I'm getting home sick...
