Alaska

Went on an Alaskan cruise last month. Sure was nice being in the 50 some degree weather, vs this heat.
Our first time to Alaska, and it won't be our last.

An Alaska cruise is the only I would want to go on. Have several friends who took the cruise and loved it.

Oh man, it was 113 here today and those pictures look like the nearest thing to heaven on this earth.

Fantastic pics Dennis.

Great Pictures Dennis. You guys should post some links in the other forums. I only looked over here because I knew they were coming. Wow, you didn't take those with your camera.

Did it 2007 - 25th anniversary. I had to drag my wife, kicking and screaming, off the boat.

Float plane we took to a remote fishing camp at the base of a glacier. Caught salmon, and had them cooked on the spot. Shortly afterward, a black bear came to explore, to see if any scraps were left. He dug around in the fire pit, burning his paw, took a crap on the patio, and sat down to nurse the paw.
BTW this cabin, (now improved and used as a fishing and hunting camp only accessable by plane or sled dog) is where the first Ideterod dog sled race originated from.

I got to fly the co-pilots seat. Very cool from that perspective.

Some video's flying out to the camp in a Dehavalin Otter turbo prop float plane.

Just click on the pic.
