Nanuq Posted October 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Thanks! What the photos don't show is the next day... it rained Pekingese and Persians for the 18 mile hike back. It just proves the point, "you can survive anything for a day". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanuq Posted October 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 I'll tell ya what, there is nothing like standing on a knoll surrounded by the wilderness as far as you can see in every direction, and knowing that you are ... alone. Completely, totally, utterly alone. The only sign of life is a thin trail along a cirque, and it's so quiet it makes your ears hurt. Life in Alaska.

KB Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 Absolutely stunning stuff that. We have wilderness areas in Australia too but invariably they are either sandy and hot or full of crocodiles. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member X Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 Dammit, I'd love to see all this but I don't particularly want to get eyeball scanned and fingerprinted for the pleasure of flying in to do so... I'm decidedly jealous! Great pics too, what camera equipment are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demsey Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 Nice! You awta think about using some software to make a 12 mos. picture calendar Bob as gifts. The first two trips I made to Kenai I took photos, subsequently I demured. I'm sure even these you've posted here are only 1/100th the visual experience. People would say, "How was your trip? Do you have photos?", "No, if you want good pics of Alaska just go to the mall and buy the calendar". it rained Pekingese and Persians for the 18 mile hike back. Step in any poodles? I'll tell ya what, there is nothing like standing on a knoll surrounded by the wilderness as far as you can see in every direction, and knowing that you are ... alone. Completely, totally, utterly alone. How about 31 miles offshore on a 17ft outboard, or at 6,000 feet above the Ohio River corridor solid IFR solo with a brand new instrument rating? I think you'd agree Bob; aside the 'geography' the point where you look around and realize; "Holy [censored]. If you don't keep your head tight and pull it all together; correlate what you've learned thus far, you're just not going to make it out. Alive. Mommy and Daddy can not help you now." That's 'living'. Thanks for sharing. Love these posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted October 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 ...the point where you look around and realize; "Holy shit. If you don't keep your head tight and pull it all together; correlate what you've learned thus far, you're just not going to make it out. Alive. Mommy and Daddy can not help you now." That's 'living'. Amen, brother. That's living out loud... not in shades of grey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
