Slide Mountain Cabins Alaska

After packing up camp we were on the road to Tangle Lakes. In Alaska they have a book called The Milepost so you can look at landmarks along the road. It makes the drive really interesting. We saw some more beautiful scenery and a moose swimming across a lake with it's calf! We also saw more ...

... bathroom was &#8220;burrrr&#8221;. <br><br>The winds picked up slightly during the night and we noticed a distinct haze in the trees. Outside, you could definitely smell smoke and it wasn&#8217;t from campfires. When Wendell went to the office to register for another night, the owner told him it was from one of the wildfires but we weren&#8217;t in any danger. Later, we drove 15 miles to the post office in Glenallen and the smoke was quite dense. Upon arrival ...

Morning came early to College Fjord. We woke at 6 to a bright, sunny, and windless day and spent the first few hours cruising though the fjord looking at the glaciers. Although we were here just three days ago, the sun brought a new look to the water and glaciers. WIth no wind the icebergs had drifted to fill the bay. Although we sailed though the icebergs they kept us from ...

Sunday, June 28<br><br>The winds finally died down and we were able to leave our hideaway in Henry's Arm. Our plan was to go to Baranof Island but when we got out into Frederick Sound the swells were bigger and wind stronger than we expected so we turned around. We called Lucretia B, the boat that left before we did from Henry&#8217;s Arm, on the VHF radio to get a weather report. They had anchored in Henry&#8217;s Arm the previous night ...

This morning brought fog so think you couldn't se the front of the ship from the back. We were in open waters and I wasn't driving, so I didn't really care. It lifted, or we sailed out of it about 9:00. The rest of the day was spent sailing through Prince William Sound and College Fjord. <br><br>College Fjord was very nice, narrow fjord with steep mountains on both sides. There are almost a dozen glaciers in this 60 mile ...

So the flight is scheduled for eighteen hours and change total, fifteen from LAX to Taipei (TPE) and another three and a half from TPE to Bangkok (BKK) after a two-hour plane change and layover. Two hours is likely too short to be looking for the kind of "stinky tofu" that bested Andrew Zimmern in his Bizarre Foods episode on Taiwan, but we'll see. Zimmern's spirit of culinary adventure is definitely along for this ride, and the acquisition and ...

... Cinnamon Bun. Jeden Freitag fliegen sie frische rein, es war Samstag, Lucky you!!! Dafuer hat der Wirt seine hauseigene Landebahn ein paar Meter vom Cafe entfernt. "Fliegen sie auch Chop sui Konserven aus Honkong rein?" " Negative Ghostrider" In Chicken machte ich erneut halt, gutes Essen, grosse Portionen, aber irgendwie fehlte die Gemuetlichkeit. Danach wieder Teer, aber immer noch Huegel bis Tok. Im Hintergrund ...

... border between British Columbia and the Northwest Territories. If you haven't seen the photos, have a look at blog no. ----.. The Glenn Highway is classed as a "Scenic Bypass" which is Alaska's designation for a scenic route and it is identified by a pictogram of a fireweed - the beautiful weed that blooms in bright red colours in August and that is so prolific in Alaska. I arrived late around 23:00 in Glennallen, finding a town that had already gone to bed.

... from the Columbia Icefields Visitor's Center, in Jasper National Parks, can be accessed by car along the Icefields Parkway. From its base Ice Explorers -bus like vehicles with giant tires-- take tourist right onto the glacier which is a great experience but very expensive. This summer I visited Glaciar Perito Moreno in Argentina which in my mind is the most stunning because the glacier ends with a giant ice wall that can be closely view from platforms ...

... ABOVE the Arctic Circle. The area below is surprisingly lush and beautiful, miles and miles of unobstructed Nature. You can drive past glaciers as though they were just another roadside attraction, and see the occasional moose or bear making poo-poo along the roadway. Does a bear **** in the woods? In fact the area around Anchorage is really more ...
