Sweet travels Bob!

Truly jealous of your temps right now! As well as the beautiful sights!

It's hard to find a clear enough day to get a good picture of Denali (Mt McKinley).  This was taken from many miles to the north on a hazy day with IPhone zoom maxed out.  This is the side we successfully climbed in the early 80's.

Bit of trivia:  Denali gains 3/4" elevation per year due to plate action.

If you are interested in watching a 9 minute video of Atigun Pass, Dalton Hwy/ Haul Rd, Alaska, I saved it on YouTube. This is a 5 mile 12% grade up and down through the Brooks Mtn Range.

 

[makenmend]

appreciate the info on gears and speed through the pass.
what tires are you running and what pressures ?

I'm thinking on next year.

3 generations shown working Teri's family produce farm in Alaska.  Paula (Teri's mom), Teri (Bobby's wife), granddaughter Courtney, grandson Andy and his girlfriend.  This beautiful farm has raised some beautiful people in addition to the crops of produce.  Hard working family for sure.

How interesting..............trimming/packaging head lettuce right in the field

Irrigated? I wouldn't have thought that. That is some lush,healthy looking produce. Enjoying the videos, Bob.

'How interesting..............trimming/packaging head lettuce right in the field"

that's SOP(standard operating procedure) for lettuce. even that plastic with all the holes in it that lettuce is sometime wrapped in is done in the field. highdesertranger

I loved the vid of the unguided puppy missiles torpedoing each other on the lawn....

I don't do many campfires but every once in awhile I do.  Picked up an artificial log today to see how it may work in the Mini Grill.  I broke the log in half and put in both pieces, started right up and worked great, 2 1/2 hours on one log.  Life is good.

Thanks and all the best to you Rimarsh.

It was a nice clear day in Palmer today so decided to head north and see if Denali was visible.  This is the south side, the pictures I previously posted were of the north side.  Majestic for sure.
