This area usually receives snow with little wind so measurements would be easier to record. We lived in Glennallen MP 110 and are familiar with the Thompson Pass snowfall phenomenon. I don't doubt either measurement.

Last week, as most of Alaska joined the cryosphere and became snow-covered, one area again stood out as one of the snowiest places on the planet.

The mission to stop soldier su***de that involves paddling down the entire Mississippi River is underway. Two Itasca County veterans are working on this together.

Flying in Alaska is commonplace either for recreation or more importantly for commerce. Transportation of passengers and cargo to over 220 villages & sites takes a large fleet of small planes and scores of qualified pilots. Technology for navigation and communication makes flying the safest it has ever been. Getting off the ground gives a view you will never forget.

The road system (about 3000 miles) in Alaska reaches only about 25% of the state. The airplane services about 220 towns and villages in the remainder of the state.

They call HB this size "barn doors". Halibut drebys frequently have winners in the 300 # class. HB fishing is a popular and affordable activity for Alaskans and visitors alike. 20 pounders are common and folks rarely go home empty handed.

One of the world's largest Halibut caught today. Over 7 feet long and 30 years old. The jumping in the water beside it for a picture before releasing it back! . These fish can grow up to 15 feet long and 700 pounds!

There are many myths about Alaska. This addresses one that Alaskans find most amusing. Another myth is that the weather in NE Minnesota is "better" than the weather in much of Alaska.

We live in THAT Alaska!

June 20 gives Alaskans a reason to celebrate the the season of light. Fishing all night and camping without the need of artificial light are just 2 examples of the magic of summer.
December 20 however gives Alaskans another reason to celebrate. The days start to lengthen. Summers coming!
There is always a reason to celebrate if we look for it.
