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.

Hanging Ten With Poppa

We decided to take a drive to Mariner Park at the head of the spit. The wind was a non-issue, and the tide had just gone slack. It was a decent sun preparing to set, and we decided to do a little ice surfing. It was a pleasant outing.

Denali

Here's  a picture of the Alaska Range with Denali at the 3 o'clock position. I took it from a Shared Services flight from Kuparuk to Anchorage. I have flown over Denali National Park more than 100 times on this work flight, and every time I still strain out the window to get views of the mountain, the park road, Wonder Lake, the Muldrow Glacier and more. Its one more opportunity to scout my route from Kantishna to HQ. From 30,000 feet it looks like it could be done in an afternoon, which is absurd. It also looks blue, really blue, and cold; and thats a harsh reality.
