Evening! Im sure I could get some good footage if I carried the camera around with me for long enough (say an hour or two).

It is pretty but to paraphrase Bob, winters suck and they are too long up here. Seemed like when I hit 50, I started to have no desire to do winter activities anymore.

 

I think I hit that point when I was about 40! And my winters don't get as brutal as yours. I'd have probably been done with winter when I was 20 if it started in September and ended in June!

 

hey Barky man! I am soooo jealous!!! missing alaska big time!!! tempting, first I get the Iditarod volunteer form, some new friends asking me to come visit (hoonah, so i would have to use the marine highway$$$) and your beautiful video (table bump!) kinda weird seeing the oil rigs though, not used to that.

trying to stay put and be retired, oh well. good times, my friends crack me up.
started a snowball fight with their kids, half inch of snow to texas folks is still fun. thanks to my trainer I can now run away from those kids too...

channelled Madhat and Shorts to stay out of snowball range.


Madson, THAT sounds like a blast!! fun to get it running....
you get your bike 100%?
