Today in Anchorage

[thør]

Hell looks nice on the inside, I just checked pictures. Probably fancy pants prices.

They have some come-on priced stuff, but Cabelas isn't known for low prices.

I have a $50 gift card with no expiration, for the last three years.

Yesterday's paper had the sale ad.

It's sunny in Fairbanks, but it's not THAT sunny!

After being in awe of your bore tide picture I read up on a little info about it and came across this neat video clip. Have you ever watched one come in?

Also, an oldie but goodie.

Fish bait left in the plane was too irresistible for a determined bear. The pilot had sheet wrap, 3 cases of duct tape and 2 tires flown out to him to fix his plane and was able to fly home.

Yup, they are pretty cool.

Did you know that there is a river bore that you may be able to see daily?

Hmmm...in my river? My river was not on the 'go to' places.

I did read there used to be one coming up the Sea of Cortez daily but with changing channels in the water that it is no longer possible.

Edit: I just read on the clip that Turnagin has them daily, bigger ones near the extreme low tides and full moon.

You need to hang at the bluff and watch when the tide comes in

I do! I might be thataway in June, perhaps working driving time around it. I love this new discovery! Just two months ago, after all these years was the first time we stopped and got water out of that side road pipe coming out of the rock. Delish!

You lost me on that one.

I remember the bore coming by about an hour or more past low tide. That was north of the river.

You need to traverse the scenic byway just south of Anchorage to figure that out.

It is on the list.

Right smack on the side of he road there is this cliff of rock. There must have at one time been streaming water through a crack in it, so someone somehow put a pipe in it and the water flows out through that. People stop off and fill up containers of great tasting water from it.

I'm going to have to remember this. Thanks!

We have a pipe that comes out of the mountains and delivers Cøørs beer to all the people with no taste.

Just be careful crossing the highway, there. People are nuts behind the wheel.

That's people peeing at the top of the mountain. (I like how your ø's are thør ø's.)

They are! Especially the tourists looking for a beluga, sheep or scenery.

The Arctic Man is a race for teams of two skilled competitors that tests the strength of an athlete and the horsepower of a snowmobile. Courage and training are essential elements of this team of snowmobile and skier.

The Arctic Man is one of the World's Toughest Downhill Ski races, and an exciting snowmobile race, all in one. The skier begins at a summit elevation of 5,800 feet and drops 1700 feet in less than two mile to the bottom of a narrow canyon where he meets up with his snowmobiling partner.

The snowmobiler meets the skier, on the go, with a tow rope and pulls the skier 2 1/4 miles uphill at top speeds of up to 86 mph. The skier and the snowmobile then separate and the skier goes over the side of the second mountain and drops another 1200 feet to the finish line.

At the Arctic Man you "GO FAST or GO HOME"
