Thanks. I know very little about vids. I may end up just keeping them since they are really cool games.

It was pretty cloudy last weekend again, but we managed to get out anyway. At least it wasn't blazing hot.

It's funny how whenever life seems to kick me in the face, you guys post more incredible pictures and stories. I am certain that many others, even the Pinside lurkers, get much meaning out of them too.
Tomass, a genuine thank you for starting this forum, and keeping it going to this day.
P.S: I can't wait to buy you a drink someday!

Quoted from Gorgar1:So very hot in summer and sub zero winter wow.
Well very hot to me is anything over 70. So 74 is sweltering. Lol

Quoted from Brainiac:Very nice. Much appreciated your sharing AK with us! I lived there for 3 years and enjoyed it. Unfortunately, I was personally never a winter person so I moved back to the SE lower 48.
Yeah, winters are long. This summer has been cool and rainy and it already is feeling like fall is aproaching quickly. There has been some termination dust on the mountains already. This seems like a year that will drive a bunch of people to move if they were on the fence already.
I am hoping to go pick some blueberries this weekend. Looks like they are loaded this year from what others are telling me. A good friend gave me a whole cooler full of sockeye filets yesterday. That was a huge bonus, especially since they were already cleaned and vac packed.
Had to make an unexpected trip to Whittier on Saturday at the last minute. Would have liked to get some more pics, but was in a hurry to help a friend. I did get a couple pics of some glaciers and the 2 1/2 mile tunnel.

Spent a couple of days in Seward boating and kayaking through the fjords, a day in talkeetna that was going to be a glacier landing and hike but ended up being an air tour of the glaciers due to weather. Then a few days in Denali with a heli-hike and a bus tour of the park. Now taking the train for a last night in anchorage before heading home. Lots of beautiful things to see, but it has been surprisingly cold (to me) the last few days in denali!
Any last minute recommendations for must do's in Anchorage?
Quoted from zr11990:How does the tunnel work? It looks like it is only in one lane.
Yep, it is 1 way sharing it with trains. Inbound is on the half hour and outbound on the hour and trains can interrupt that. If you miss the last outbound opening you are stuck overnight in Whittier. There are lots of glaciers and waterfalls to view. One of my favorite places to go.

If you have a vehicle flat top mountain is pretty nice in Anchorage.
If you head north, Eklutna is also great. There is a trail that leads to an overlook of the whole lake (twin peaks trail).
If you are up to it, the Matanuska glacier is about 1:45 to 2 hours up the Glenn hiway.
Quoted from LTG:I was wondering if that got exciting in there with you, and a train, coming at you.
LTG : )
Problem with a train is when it comes during your opening. It can make you miss it and wait an hour for the next one. Not much in Whittier either but it is so beautiful.
Quoted from sbmania:Unfortunately no vehicle. Plans now are to do a segway tour of anchorage unless we come up with something better. Dinner will probably be in anchorage. Maybe moses tooth? Staying in Capt cook's.
I would offer you a ride up to flat top but I am kinda tied up with my friend in town and my mother-in-law coming up in a couple days. Moose's tooth is probably the best pizza around. Not many good eating spots that I have found though. I usually don't eat out though.

Definitely Moose's Tooth. My kids broke my wife's MT glass. She was so P/O'd. I never realized how much it meant to her.
Simon and Seafort's was our anniversary dinner place, but $$$ n need reservation.

Yeah S&S is great. We went there for an anniversary as well. I dressed up since it was a special occaision, but I was the only one in there wearing a tie I believe.

Did you see any wildlife in Denali? Feel free to share any pics if you want.
Was a nice day and the mother-in-law is visiting, so we drove over the pass. Unfortunately it was raining up there and we were in the clouds at the top. Still got a couple good pics.

Lots of caribou and maybe 7 or 8 Grizzlies. My pics aren't the best unfortunately. Also saw Dall sheep and moose!

Wow! Nice pics. Thanks for sharing.
Quoted from sbmania:Warning or joke?? Not sure!!

Joke, but fairly true. Skeeters are really bad especially in spring before the dragonflies come in.

Never seen an AK 'skeeter, but down here we say our state bird is the mosquito.
It’s 3:30am. Couldn’t sleep and found this thread. Wow thanks for taking time to show Alaska @tomass, that scenery is just breathtaking. I don’t get snow where I am in Australia but do spend a lot of time bushwalking our parks and reserves. It’s great seeing you outside with the kids. Mine are all grown now but we always did lots of walking especially in the Blue Mountains. My daughter now 30 still loves to go with me in the wintertime. My son 28 will come too when he’s not too busy. Last pix when a landslide took out some of the track.

Very nice! Would love to visit your country some day. Seems rugged like AK.

Yes it can be mate. We do this walk every year. I’ve walked the three sisters since I was 5 with my parents I’m now 58.

Beautiful!
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:Climate change impact..any around you Tomass
One thing for sure, the glaciers get significantly smaller over a couple years.

I was trying to get 2 comparative pics a few years apart. My wife will get them to me at some point.

Quoted from newpinbin:See any salmon lately?
I'm sure they are in the rivers and streams, but I have not been out fishing this year once again. I used to go 3-4 times a week, but just haven't made time the last few years.

I was actually feeling like I am too old to camp out in a tent in the freezing cold, but my son wanted to hunt this year. I have been trying to get him to hunt since he was old enough to walk but he had no interest, and I did not want to push him if he didn't want to. Now I know that I am getting too old for this. I need to buy a cabin.
