That's pretty cool, a flash flood or an intentional thing?

It's amazing how quick and agile a moose can be at times, other times quite literaly a bull in a china shop.

I remember hunting a while back, not having a moose tag and we jumped a huge bull unintentionally while attempting to move quietly into a spot that elk moved through at the end of the day. I have never heard so much noise as the thing crashed through the bush, another time I walked right by on at about 50', never noticed or heard a thing and my partner saw it come out just where I had been and slink off. It waited for me to pass and then made less noise that a rabbit.

Clue- One of the most intense disasters ever measured.

As agile as that looks, I've been woken up from a moose right outside my window, from merely walking. Their steps on soft grass, I could hear their weight beneath their hooves.

I like this moose picture. It looks kinda cute, which is something I rarely use to describe an adult moose.

I love this. I want it framed on my wall.

It's part of the old crushing plant at the Treadwell Mine in Juneau. Joe McCabe was the photographer.

From the big '64 earthquake that made the ground fall 6 ft I believe.

I'll be hornswoggled. It never occurred to me that the damn things could jump like that. Color me amazed.

Just your normal 3 meter subsidence during a tectonic event.

We, in New England, are still required to wait the Regulation defined amount of time for the weather to change, even, though, the five minute wait is behind the times.

Lost hiker survives 2 chilly nights in Alaska's Chugach State Park

*sigh*

This looks to me to be a case of utter dumbass-ness. Why the fuck do you go out for a day hike in the mountains when the weather is coming in? And when it turns to shit, why not just turn around and go back the way you came? It would have been all downhill to ER Nature Center. Personally, I'm not a fan of cold-ass rain and no visibility. Maybe that's his thing?

Hasn't everyone done this?

A more accurate story.

I'm confused. A guy went backpacking alone, off season, in poor weather, and decided to cross a glacier at night? No dogs to keep him warm, keep him from getting lost or falling in a crevasse? No GPS/Weather radio/walkie talkie? No tent?
