Midnight Sun is a great one, but there are several others worth visiting as well.

When I finally get to see that wonderful state of yours I will ask for suggestions!!

Two TU-95s and two SU-35s were escorted back to international airspace on Tuesday by a couple of F-22s off NW Alaska.

The sheep's view.

I'd hate to be accused of being picky but wouldn't it be more accurate to describe it as the photographer's view of the sheep's view?

Rams are always above the ewes.

This is an interesting place to hike/climb. Above this steep bit where the sheep hang out, the mountain flattens out for several hundred yards. I recall seeing a Griz with cub on the flatter zone once, when hiking the Falls Creek trail which is on the other side of the creek behind the photographer. Spring is nicer than summer when hiking up there because the grass gets so high you can't see more than 50 feet up the winding trail.

Yep, that's what I thought; I'm dead by round 2.

Dear thor,

Please keep the Russians at bay. Given how close hey're flying these days, you can actually see them.

Love,

It's a game that I'm sure both sides are playing.

Sometimes, the flights are scheduled.

I've been in a TU-154 before, but it was a passenger rig owned by a Joint-Stock Company, not a spy plane.

Ya never know what you might find at the top of Bird Ridge.

Yeah, but they never get really huge. Largest was only 1,469#.

Thor, to the top!!

I've been busy with chores to make SWMBO smile.

Smallfish, here.
Bigfish, there.​

But perfect for a party with 30 or 40 of your closest friends.
