Yup. She's already good at it as she handily controls her brother who is over 6' already.


So...do you see it?

OMG...Snow?....

[Rick]

That right there ain't right. It's August for pity sake.

[crashdive123]

We have plenty of snow in August. Of course, it usually involves the DEA and characters of ill repute.

I was watching some boat recovery show and they had to go into the mangrove swamps, eddies, coves, whatever, to recover a boat. The guy said he hated to go in there because if you pick the wrong one you'd often run into drug dealers. Sure enough, floating against the shore line was a large package covered in packing tape. "See?" he said. I'd have been looking at the help wanted ads post haste. They may have tossed it out for the show but still....

Square groupers and smuggler's paradise.

This happened today, 120 miles south of me.

I hear ya...same here....some one what to rep that post?

Fantastic pic's.....

[Grizzlyette Adams]

I repped that post f'sure.

Thanks for the wonderful eye candies. You certainly have a gift for photographic artistry.

If I was actually *there,* with those mountians before me, I would probably forget to breathe...it IS that breathtaking! I just cannot imagine what it would be like...

One more for my bucket list.

[1stimestar]

Thanks. It is breathtaking even after seeing it regularly for almost 12 years. I'll never get tired of it.

[crashdive123]

Great pictures. I too must spread the rep love.

[MrFixIt]

This thread (and the other ones you've posted) never fail to deliver.
I appreciate you taking the time to update and share the photos with us.

[Rick]

Those are truly fantastic pics. You have a great eye. However, and I'll bet you agree with this, no picture can ever accurately convey the true beauty and majesty of that mountain. Pictures just don't convey the sense of scale. It is so big and so awe inspiring that you almost want to cry. I've only been two places that I felt that way, Denali National Park and the Grand Canyon. Pictures just can't capture the true scale of either one. I'm almost envious of those that have stood at it's peak...almost.

[1stimestar]

Hit the nail on the head Rick. How do you explain the feelings you feel when noticing the mountains in front of it are big mountains? How do explain understanding how it makes its own weather due to sheer massiveness? You just can't.

[1stimestar]

They're baaaaccckkk!

That is so beautiful! I couldn't stand it anymore and searched YouTube to see what something like this looks like in real-time...and I just want to weep because it is so awe-inspiring.

Alaska is calling me...resistance is futile. Meanwhile, I will live vicariously through your camera lens, gal!

Well come on up! Here is where you can find the best real time videos of the northern lights. You have to have a special (very expensive) camera to take video of them. That is why you will mostly see time lapse. But technology is advancing so that now some people other then NASA can afford them.

And this bit just tickled me pink. No new signs needed because we don't, and haven't been, calling it McKinley.

It may be a headache for map makers and Ohio politicians, but not for [Alaska] DOT roads crews. After doing an inventory of road signs in the state, officials from the agency determined they didn’t have a single sign reading “Mount McKinley.”
