I was absently-mindedly gassing up my old Ford 150 the other day when I looked up and froze. In front of me, I mean right there, was a drop dead stunning full-fall gorgeous mountain. Not off- in-the-distance Mt. Rainier, but right there. Green swarth rising to cirlets of golden poplar branches,ruddy blueberry bushes,smoky purple rock, topped by fresh white snow, and finally fresh blue sky.Sky and air so clear. A view from a Tesoro gas station.Only in Alaska. Anywhere else ...

... how huge the eruption was! The place reminded me of the landscapes generated by the eruptions of Mont St Helens in 1980 in the U.S. and Mount Pinatubo in 1991 in the Philippines.

Such a place built by a recent volcanic eruption reminds us that our planet is not dead. More large-scale eruptions are likely to occur in Katmai or elsewhere in the world. There were no casualties during the 1912 ...

Saturday, August 8 - Anchorage, Alaska - Day 5 of 5

There aren't too many hours in the day left when one gets out of bed at noon, but that's only six hours of shut-eye if one goes to bed at 6 a.m. - right?

Regardless, we went into the city today (which is only about a 10 minutes drive) to visit an art gallery named Artique. When we were in Denali, I was enamored by the work of silver jewelry artist ...

... and Seafort's restaurant which was recommended but it looked a little to upscale for what I wanted at the time. The Glacier fit the bill perfectly; the food was wonderful (I had the beer battered ale halibut appetizer with a great bleu cheese salad and of course a beer, raspberry wheat ale). My bill came to about $20 but this was an appetizer and salad with beer so was a little less ...

... the chance to sit down and talk in years, what with my being at college and then traveling for work. I really enjoyed getting to just spend some time with him. We didn't get to the hotel in Anchorage until 11pm their time...but it was still bright as could be out. Being that far north, the sun only partially set around 1am or so. So we walked over to the Wendy's next door to the hotel, but they were closed. Wouldn ...

... to rest his eyes and finish attempting to complete the IT clean up. Gee it worked he managed to find out that the Mighty Maroons were again successful to prove seniority in the State of Origan. GEE three years in a row! What is the world coming too? The dog sled show was reported as good and a dinner of Halibut, chips and salad in the evening of warm sun was enough to complete the day. We ...

... is subject to the opinion of the "Lower 48" on many issues. For example, when Congress passed the bill in 2000 to allow drilling in 10-02 area of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, 56 percent of Americans surveyed, as opposed to 29 percent, said that it is not worth the risk to the environment. President Clinton vetoed the bill, stating that the coastal portion of ANWR is a "national monument."[13] [This occurred even though Congress ...

... the
highlight of our trip, there many animals here to see in their natural
habitat (not like a zoo) and all the proceeds from the admission ticket
and gift shop purchases go to taking care of them. I even got to feed a
deer. My alaska trip was amazing and I look forward to the day that I
can revisit this beautiful state of wilderness.

... keep his passion for cycling kindled, Sebastian kept a small armada of bikes at the hostel that he rented to guests for fifteen dollars a day. He cycled extensively in the Anchorage area and gave vague recommendations of the best trails and how to get to them. After unlocking two bikes from the shed out back and checking the tires and adjusted the height of the seats, Sebastian made his sage recommendation- a trek that would take us through the Chester Creek Trail, down a ...
