Half of my life is spent at 59 degrees North latitude on the shores of Alaska's Kachemak Bay. The other half is spent at 70 degrees North latitude on the Central Beaufort Sea Coast. Lots happens in between, too, in this land known as The Last Frontier.

Clarity

Looking North From the Confluence of Savage River and Jenny Creek
Denali National Park Wilderness Preserve     
   Another winter is upon us here in Alaska, and with it my thoughts have returned to Denali National Park and the Spring Trail. I am a man passionate about traveling through the park's wilderness area on a self-sufficient winter expedition. The tentative date for the latest expedition on Denali's Spring Trail is late February 2012.
 I will leave you with a photo of last years lenticular clouds, both day and night. They are clear indicators of high winds aloft in mountainous regions, and are harbingers of potential weather systems to come.
