Wind may have been nasty, but the photo is sure top notch!

I can add the original to my fotothing collection if you want a bigger one-that one is sized down for these forums. :D

Christmas lights are big up here in the north, they brighten the cold and dark and bring us some cheer in this, our darkest hours right before the holidays. I went out and sampled some of the lights. It was actually fairly warm, about 1�º to maybe 3�ºC, which was a nice break from the...

Absolutely brilliant! 8)

A thankgiving day ride. That's in farenheight.... :D Wasilla Lake, nicely frozen, better than a foot of ice out there. The skaters are out. What's even more fun is to get out there with a cage and spin some "brodies", "doughnuts", whatever you guys call it when you get out on a low...

That's a very nice view. Must be tough having to sit out on the deck every morning and look at the ocean out there. That's living. 8)

Sure, "food". whatever you say... Obviously on a liquid diet. :D

Sounds as if you'll be in the postion to do that...or you could see the Yukon Quest, IIRC it runs from Dawson to Fairbanks.

Iditarod, you say?

I snapped a few pictures today, fairly random, just to kind of give you guys a rough idea of what I have to live with up here... Crappy through the windshield pictures.... this is outer Wasilla, heading south towards Anchorage. I have to look at this mess every morning on my way to work...

I did just buy Gnoma'am this bright little shiny thing that caught her magpie like eye...

We used to have a few of those here in the states, El Caminos, Rancheros, Falcon pickups, but they pretty much went away. Nowadays if you want a car, you get a car, if you want a truck, you get a truck. There are 1000's of pickups here in the US that have never seen anything in the back...we...

Fantastic material thus far, please carry on! must get passport, must get passport, must get passport...

Near my home in Wasilla, Alaska, about 60 Kms north of Anchorage. If you look at a map of Alaska, follow Cook Inlet (IIRC, NZ also has a Cook Inlet 8) ) and the north end is where most of these shots were taken. The frost is from the fog that rolls in off the water, slicks up the bridge across...

What is this little truck? It kind of looks like a late 60's Buick from the tailights.

While you poor folks are heading into that time of year when you do a slowbake in your helmet, we in the frozen north head into that season called "this winter", as opposed to the other 2 seasons, "last winter" and "next winter". I headed out this morning under clear and cool skies, about...

Well, I suppose a guy could just tough it out with damp feet.... You could always stick them over the end of the mufflers and rev up the engine for a bit, that would dry them too!

You guys need the studded knobbies I use if you're going to play in the snow like that! What kind of elevation does it take to get snow like that? I believe it is late winter for your guys down there, seeing that much snow does surprise me a bit. As long as it all works though, and you kids had...

https://www.peetshoedryer.com/ This device will sort those wet boots out quite nicely. I need to dig mine out of the shed, winter is coming here fairly soon.

Having watched the guys in Hatcher Pass do it, I've been intrigued. OTOH, one guy did get killed a few years back, an unexpected gust slammed him into the mountain, not sure if he was wearing a helmet but they all do now! They were figuring about $2K for the rig and $500 for lessons when I...
