I've traveled to Alaska quite a few times due to my grand father workin' on the oil rigs in northern Alaska, I figured I'd share a few of my travels here as I'm gettin' itchy but needa hold off at least until spring when I got my money right... so this has been helpin' sharing stories...

One thing that I noticed was that once you get outta Anchorage yea generally don't see too many people. They just seem ta disappear and nature really takes over

Although the state is fuckin' beautiful and the residents that call Alaska home really care about it, there was a shit load of old fuckin' car and trash in every yard.

Each time I went to Alaska it seemed to be right in the middle of seasonal climate changes so "perfect weather" was really rare.

Now Alaska has got some fucked up lighting situations. Early fuckin' spring its always light. Fucked me up for weeks. I would be chillin' not realizing its motherfuckin' 230am because it'd look like it was 230pm outside. Winter its fuckin' dark 18 hrs a day..... fuck

diggin the seal, moose and mountain photos

Thanks and I enjoy your captions as well very entertaining!

Hey thanks. The moose were in a little rehabilitation that received animals that were injured usually from being hit by vehicles. Once they were strong enough they were returned to the wild and if they were deemed not to return to wild life they were killed for food processing. The people didn't want a "zoo" which is cool if yea think 'bout it.... they said there is plenty of wild life, go see it...

fucking *awesome*, man..

maybe the next jambo should be up *there*???


; )


fucking awesome.

Thanks a lot. Its definitely THE place to visit if yer not into walkin' around store fronts and very much into hittin' some trails...
