North to the Future

Savage River Alpine Trail, and easy way to stretch your legs in the park. By the park, I mean Denali, of course.

The lady who writes Molly of Denali made this to show how dark it gets here, now.

So, if you're coming to southcentral or farther north Alaska in June/July, don't bother to pack a flashlight.

Dunno. He was from Jersey.

Everyone golf!

Stunning landscape, but it doesn't exactly look people-friendly.

Before there was golf, the place was a day park with a prison farm. A great place to play in the woods when I was a kid.

I've got those before. UPS hires pussies.

UPS won't even come up my driveway if the trees aren't trimmed back.

Bastages!

Fire is nature's purge and cleanse.

It rejuvenates the earth's skin; like a baby planet's ass.

A National Guard Pavehawk flaring for landing at the hospital helipad last evening. Hopefully, they made someone's day a bit better.

If summer heat is getting to you, there's a cure; travel to Nuiqsut, AK.
