Yes, where you live is nice....

[RS2]

We are as far north as Anchorage (52°North) so it can look similar sometimes.

[Media Boy]

It's not my backyard. Maybe it belongs to one of you. I just flew over it a few weeks ago.

[Jim Wilke]

We are as far north as Anchorage (52°North) so it can look similar sometimes.

Anchorage is at 61 degrees N, 52 is Calgary, Vancouver is 49. I was in Kotzebue, Alaska last week, they are at almost 67N, 35 miles north of the Arctic Circle which is 66, 33m.

[RS2]

So it is Calgary. I knew it was some big city in the north.
The farthest north I ever was, was Trondheim, Norway. 63+North.

So what youre saying is that you live in the middle of a Yes album cover

Post of the year so far.

Agreed. Snow covered mountains; one of the things I miss the most about living out West.

I've always thought that Salt Lake City is one of the prettiest big cities in the US. Snow capped Wasatch to the East, Great Salt Lake to the West, and clean...

That is cool Numb. But Anaheim gets pretty crowded in summer. Is this your submarine?

No, but his friends are all on board. (Many more of them live next door.)

This is a volcano 150 miles southeast of Anchorage:

[KevMcNJ]

That is a stunnng scene.

[ZUL8TR]

That's seriously beautiful.

I've climbed/skied the following volcanoes:

Mt Lassen - great shot of mid-Summer snow fields. also done Jan/Feb ascent/descent.


Mt Shasta - This mountain does not like me.


Mt McLoughlin - We turned the summit into the equivalent of the Snake Pit. Everyone had hauled up a ton of booze.


Mt Hood - some guy died that weekend

[Jim Wilke]

That is a stunnng scene.

Yeah, ain't it? Down on the Alaska Peninsula on a rare nice day. Nobody lives there because the weather is so unrelentingly awful.

[badart]

I was kidding. Alaska is beautiful, would go back anytime.

I like in Anchorage how you can see Denali and Forraker both from the city and they're very far away.

[KevMcNJ]

Judging by the way the peak abruptly ends, Id assume it blew up in a very big way a long time ago.

[Frank Capua]

Hoosiers seeing a mountain for the first time:

It was almost that bad my first year of college out in Oregon. Flew into Portland took the campus shuttle to my dorm got settled and was invited to play a game of football on the Commons and first time I caught a pass I started to head down field when I spotted Mt. Hood. I stopped dead in my tracks in awe and got creamed from behind.

But it wasn't even my first time to see a mountain or even Mt. Hood... it was the realization that this would be my routine view for some time to come.

[jiman1973]

The number 2 cause of death in Alaska after cancer is accidental death. But - Anchorage 5th most dangerous? I don't see it.

I can't imagine that being the case either.

I have only spent about 3 weeks in Anchorage, but it was one of the most beautiful places (not to mention a very cool town!) I've ever been. Would love to go back some day.

Portage Lake, about 40 miles south of Anchorage:

Here's a hazy shot from a little closer:

I live in Colorado. Don't move here, there is no scenery. Don't move here, the sun only shines a little over 300 days a year. Don't move here, we often ski and play golf on the same weekend.

Did I say don't move here?

Sounds like when I was living in New Mexico. the saying was that everyone wanted to move there but they just want to be the last person to move there

Im curious.

How much more is a house on that block comapred with a similar house say two or three blocks further West or South?

My kiddo goes to school in Golden. After only a year, I think we've officially lost him to the Rockies. It will be hard trying to convince him to move back to Oklahoma.

School of Mines is tough, congrats to you and your son.

It's a tough program, but he's eating it up. He LOVES that school. And, of course, the school love my HUGE tuition checks. :/
