The three of us have something VERY SPECIAL in common that many people never get to experience!!
I believe we have officially bonded, LOL.

Yes, bonded is a great way of putting it. And, thank you both for the great memories. They are very dear and SPECIAL to me... especially since I can share them out loud now... Hugs, Start
Oh and if you ever end up in Anchorage, the Peanut Farm is the place to go for a burger and a beer. Just needed to add that in there.
I couldn't agree more, Janine!
The Three Alaskan's
My because is a chef in AK, he went there after hearing all of the wonderful adventures I had. He has decided to stay.
Oh, yeah, and COOTS!!
Who could ever forget Chilkoot Charlies? Or the Alaskan Bush Company. Yeah, been to the Bush, it was an experience I will never forget either. Although I did loose my lunch near Eagle River on the way back home to Wasilla. LOL
Hey, Captain, I just have to ask you this one little question... did you know someone by the name of Web Webster? He was my friends grandpa and I went to his funeral a few years back, well, I just thought I would ask...
The Three Alaskans!
I'll see you two in the morning... sniffQuote:

Anyway, the kids need dinner and they are done coloring. I will sort through some good pics for a later time. See you guys later. Good night!
Good night to you both.
Sniff, was fun traveling down memory lane. Will have to do this more often.
THE THREE ALASKANS!!
This is one on our way out. How pretty huh? Love the view!
Trying to include bearsAttachment 4210
Ugh, I can't open it.
I'm a dolt and can't figure out pics. Start told me but I'm strugglin'...
Part of the problem is the pics my bro sends me are way too large.

Now, see, that didn't really work like I wanted it to either... :mad:
I still can't open it. Apparently I don't have the right software. Boo Hoo
I saw it, very cool. Is that on his property? Holy Cow!
Start, what software did you need to view it?
He's sent thing's on OutlookExpress and the pics are in the body of the email.
I usually view pics on Window Picture and Fax Viewer, sometimes Paint, depends...
I think cause it's a .pdf I need Adobe, so I am downloading it now
Start was telling me about Go Advanced, then Manage Attatchments, then Browse, but the pics are too big. I went through the converter and I'm just toast!
Yeah, we have limited space for pics. What I do is save my pics to Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket and then you can post them here.
Adobe is a good download to get anyway, that is where I viewed it... Still selling, just eating right now and of course my free minutes like to be with you folks!
How is the sale going?
Very good. Davy is such a big help, and the boys ended up coming so Dustins mom is out there with her (she brought a whole trailer load last night)... Hell, I am using the money to do the kids rooms so what ever I get is fine with me... BUT the more the better...
I tend to use Webshots a lot, I'm always creating more albums over there. I'll put 'em there and send a link. I should be able to figure that out.
But - what's for sale. I didn't hear about a sale!
Start is having a yard sale today.
The Photobucket will resize your pics so that you can post them here.
Let's see if this works...
Mixed Box pictures from alaska photos on webshots
Just a couple my brother sent for my birthday last month (I'm now officially 50)
Crossing my fingers... lol
Yay, that's better. My birthday was last week, I am officially 43. LOL
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
I wish I had all my pics on my computer. I have one of me on Portage Glacier in the winter... Climbing the mountain at Beluga Point... Camping at Montana Creek...
Oh, yeah, and who can forget the Bluegrass Festival or the Moose Dropping Festival.
What about the Trapper's Ball or the Miner's ball. Duct tape dresses and tux's... so cool. I wonder Cap'n what they had in Homer? Bingo LOl
I always loved the celebration at the Summer Solstice. When the sun just dips behind the mountain.
LOL, the camping trip I went on with the bears...
We were at camp, must have been 20 of us all out in the wilderness, no one around but us friends. Most of the folks went to Talkeetna to get some beer and other staples.
There was me, my husband our friend Kim, and Jeremy... about 6 dogs. Oh, yeah, and I was 4 months pregnant. Well, we saw the mommy bear and her cubs. Jeremy freaks and climbs in his truck with ALL the dogs... Kim jumps in her truck.
Guess where the guns were? With Jeremy and the dogs locked in the truck. Hubby had his side arm on, but I was worthless.
HOWEVER, (emphasis on however) we did have bottle rockets!! So my pudgy little pregnant self climbed in the back of the truck and started shooting bottle rockets at a dang grizzly bear!!
The story does not end there.
Hahahahahahhah!
Believe me, the 4th of July here is ALWAYS a reminder. John won't let me forget. LMAO
But, in my defense... I wasn't the MAN who was afraid and locked myself in a truck with guns and dogs!! I actively tried to get the bears out of camp.
As I said the story does not end...
Later that night, still day time cause it was June, everyone was trying to get some sleep, and my hubby woke for some odd reason. He looked across the firepit at Kim & Greg's tent, who comes strolling up but mama and her cubs. All we could see above the NorthFace tent was a neon sign DINER!!
We yelled at Kim and Greg and they came running out. Greg was trying to put his pants on. Well, guess what, they weren't pants. It was a RED FLANNEL TURTLENECK!!
I have a picture of that somewhere.
Bingo and bowling. LolQuote:

Brain Fart!
All I can think of are Mallards...
Bowling.. Love it. You sure have some fun stories J, keep them coming! Thanks for moving this, great idea... I bet there are lot's of members out there from AK or at least lived there for a bit...
PUFFINS!! That's it. I saw a lot down there in Homer I believe it was.
Oh, the stories I could tell... LMAO
Yes, there's actually a rock across Kachemak Bay called, oddly enough, Puffin Rock. You can approach in a small boat and not spook 'em, but you got to check the wind direction! LolQuote:
