I know it's cold outside, but my motel room is nice and warm.

Just knock on the door three times and have $500 cash for fifteen minutes.

Thank you.

p.s.

I may be busy when you knock on the door, so just hang out at the bar and come back later. Bring as many friends as you want, but they all must have $500 cash.

Love you, Sarah

Ha! Nice. I DO know this place. That must be a gathering for a new bridge.

Edit: no snow, full lush trees, heavy coats. I'm thinking early Octoberish.

The weather was a bit colder back in 1950. It's prolly already frosted once or twice. You're right at a month late.
 
These are great, Thor.

Are you getting a storm of historic proportions? I heard your way may have high winds.

Rosneft, ExxonMobil Sign Alaska Gas Field Deal
http://en.rian.ru/world/20130213/179449581/Rosneft-ExxonMobil-Sign-Alaska-Gas-Field-Deal.html

NOVO-OGARYOVO, February 13

(RIA Novosti) Russia’s largest oil company Rosneft signed a deal with ExxonMobil on Wednesday, giving the US energy giant access to explore Russia's Arctic shelf in return for the ability to acquire a stake in the Alaska gas field.

The agreement “provides Rosneft (or its affiliate) an opportunity to acquire a 25 percent interest in the Point Thomson Unit, which covers development of a remote natural gas and condensate field on Alaska’s North Slope,” the companies said in a joint statement on Wednesday.

As part of the deal, which was signed by Rosneft President Igor Sechin and ExxonMobil's Deputy Chief Executive Stephen Greenlee, ExxonMobil will add seven more licenses to develop hydrocarbon resources on Russia's Arctic shelf to the three it acquired from Rosneft in 2011.

These seven out of Rosneft’s new twelve licenses, which the Russian oil giant secured last month, will cover approximately 600,000 square kilometers (150 million acres) in the Chukchi, Laptev and Kara seas.

The two companies are also studying the possibility of building a liquefied natural gas facility in Russia's Far East near the Sakhalin fields. The viability study of the LNG project is expected to start in the coming weeks.

Earlier on Wednesday Russian President Vladimir Putin stressed the need for Russia “to consider the possible step-by-step liberalization of the export of LNG.” The president made the statement at a session of the Commission for Strategic Development of the Fuel and Energy Sector and Environmental Security.

“The agreements signed today take the unprecedented Rosneft and ExxonMobil partnership to a completely new level. The acreage in the Russian Arctic subject to geological exploration and subsequent development increased nearly six-fold,” Sechin said.

Commenting on the agreement, Greenlee said: “This expansion is an illustration of the strength of the partnership that exists between ExxonMobil and Rosneft. We look forward to working together on these new projects.”

The agreement is the latest development since the two oil giants announced their broad cooperation in the field of energy exploration in 2011.

Haven't been too active on this forum for a while... but now that I've decided on a trip to Alaska I thought I'd put out some feelers... so to speak. I am an avid photographer, at least I have been since I retired a couple of years ago. My plan it to arrive in Anchorage in early May, head for Homer in my rental and spend a couple of weeks following my camera lens from Homer to Denali. Denali doesn't open until around the 21st of May, so I'm planning accordingly.

I have done a lot of on-line research, chatted with some of my fellow photographers who have done an Alaska trip in the past, etc. Any recommendations, tips, etc. from readers and contributors on this thread would be very welcome. Yep, I'm open for sarcasm too, for on this forum there always seems to be plenty of that.

Oh how exciting for you! Okay in Homer, on the spit, there used to be a lady they called the Eagle Lady. She would feed the eagles every day. There were tons of them! She died a couple years ago, but I'm assuming they still hang out there. That's something you could look into. Are you going to fish? Good Halibut fishing out of Homer or Deep Creek, which is about 20-30 mins before Homer. World class fishing for salmon on the Kenai, of course. Early May may be too early for salmon too, you'd have to check that out. If you're bringing a female, there is some boardwalk shopping in Homer, but that may be too early in the season, I'm not sure. A ferry trip from Homer over to Seldovia or Halibut Cove is a nice day trip. In Soldotna, there is a nice boardwalk along the river to walk and check out the river. In Seward, you can walk up to the glacier still, but I think it's receded a bit far back now. Ummm if I think of anything more between Homer and Anchorage, I'll post it. thør probably knows tons more about the state.

Early May is mud and slop time. Trails suck and there will still be substantial snow above 1000'. Trails are much better after June 1-ish but at altitude, they will be wet until mid-June. In fact, many trails are closed to MTBs until June 1 because of rutting. If you're hanging to the road system and not walking far off, it will be nice. Expect anything from snow to t-shirt weather. Snow may still be an issue in Denali. The leaves won't be out until at least mid-May.

That said, when you get to Homer, pick up a few growlers from Homer Brewing. I like their "Bitter". On your trip, there are breweries from Homer to Healy where you can refill your growlers. Make it a photo and beer safari!

Have fun.
 
If you want to get your growler BEFORE you go to Homer, stop off for gourmet pizza and a brew at St. Elias, just a hair north of Fred Meyers in Soldotna. Bitter beer? blech. Get the Even Keel Kölsch. They have samplers too.

Or pick up some Panty Peeler at Midnight Sun in Anchorage. It's good beer, but I just like saying the name out loud.
 
Thor & Aquagal, You guys are too funny... and I do appreciate all the good info. I am traveling alone... my wife works and I have a son in middle school. Our summer is already booked with too much other "stuff" so I selected May. I also want to avoid "tourist season" which apparently officially starts on June 1st. Car rentals will be a bit cheaper, and I do plan on staying in your local Hostels whenever possible. This is my "recon" trip, for I certainly will be coming back.

Photography is my mission... and beer of course, my beverage of choice. No fishing, just photos of other folks catching them. I do plan on a halibut feast or two while in Homer, as well as a visit or two to the "Salty Dawg." Yep, I'll be goin' for the growler plan for sure...

More later... thanks again.
