Re: Outdoorsman Thread
Great pic's of Seattle from the air dlr. My son lives up there and I've made that approach several times. Beautiful country. And Alaska, I've never been there. The Ulu factory looks interesting. Looking forward to more pic's.
Re: Outdoorsman Thread
Nice pics! I had 7 or 8 hours to kill a few years ago in Anchorage at the tail end of a cruise, now I know how I SHOULD have spent that time haha! Enjoy yourself.

Re: Outdoorsman Thread
Can't compete with those great pictures of Alaska but we do have a healthy Golden Orb spider family in the front of the house. For some reason she moved for a week or so up into a space between two Live Oak branches about 15' in the air, now she has rebuilt her web closer to the ground. Her web is built where a yard spot light shines through it and seem to be a plus for her catching flying bugs at night. Look at about 2 O'clock in the picture and you can see the tiny male Golden Orb spider. (Click on the picture to enlarge.)

Re: Outdoorsman Thread
Cool that you got husband and wife Philip.
Re: Outdoorsman Thread
Treefarmer, we have those here in Texas, too. I usually manage to walk through one of their webs when I am taking the trash out to the curb at night. I hope none of my neighbors are catching on their security cameras the wild impromptu dance that I do after I walk through a web.

Re: Outdoorsman Thread
You have shown some bravery Treefarmer, because I would have nothing to do with that spider except to remove her by whatever means possible.treefarmer wrote:Can't compete with those great pictures of Alaska but we do have a healthy Golden Orb spider family in the front of the house.

Re: Outdoorsman Thread
Okay I said on the First Cup Diner thread I was going to a glacier today, well we did, but first on the way over we had to stop for a Moose and it's calf.
We stopped and spent some time shopping in Seward, AK a small port town on the east side of the peninsula on Prince William Sound.
Then we made it up to the "Exit Glacier" That is a part of the Harding Icefield. It is accessible if you are in good shape.David R (United States Navy Retired)

Re: Outdoorsman Thread
David, it looks like that smart old mom moose put out traffic cones for her baby to cross. Our deer aren't that smart. Nice pictures. My boys have been up there to some of the same places. I'd love to go there but I probably wouldn't come back. ____Dave
Re: Outdoorsman Thread
I'm trying to figure out how I could winter over up here. The lodge has everything you need and I won't have to go to town for months. There are 6 large SUV's the owner has here for themselves and guests, a snowmobile, snowshoes and a smokehouse to keep your meat in. The guy on the next property keeps the roads and driveways clear for everyone. There is more than enough firewood. The biggest problem is I don't think Cheryl could handle being snow bound here for very long.djknife13 wrote:David, it looks like that smart old mom moose put out traffic cones for her baby to cross.

Re: Outdoorsman Thread
Today we went to the town flea/farmers market and while it was nice, it didn't have anything for me. We visited a national park visitor center, had coffee and snacks in a railroad car, and went to the Soldotna History Museum. The lady that was our guide knew the history so well, because she lived it. She came here in 1948 as a young child with her parents who were "homesteaders." This was our "cultural day."

Re: Outdoorsman Thread
The buildings are the real cabins built by the first homesteaders before Alaska became the 49th state.
It has been nothing but blue skies today, so tonight we are going to take pictures of snow covered Mt. Redoubt volcano as the sun sets behind it. It last erupted March 22, 2009.
