darrel Posted September 1, 2017 Author Share Posted September 1, 2017 I'm back in Alaska, this time with my wife. We plan on a 2 month return trip to Oregon. About to enter the Alaska state fair in Palmer. Got to see those giant vegetables. #1 picture is a sunset from airport parking. #2 is a vehicle modified slightly to move around float planes. #3 is a very pretty and deadly mushroom. Old panel van from WW2 and of course another glacier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Anton Anderson tunnel is 1-lane, cars and trains take turns traveling through it. It is cut out of mountain under the Portage glacier. Iceberg that calved from Portage glacier, moose an grizzly bear, beaver chew, lingonberries-low bush cranberries-cranberries which ever you like.

darrel Posted September 10, 2017 Author Share Posted September 10, 2017 No cell power for awhile now to catch up. Presantly at a campground in Haines, Ak. Need a shower and to do laundry. After spending a great time at the Alaska state fair we drove to Macarthy and walked a foot bridge and took a shuttle to the Kennecott copper mine. This mine was built in the winter of 1911 ran until 1938 them shut down because it ran out of high grade oar. Temperatures down to -50 were experienced. Matenusca glacier.

darrel Posted September 11, 2017 Author Share Posted September 11, 2017 Tazlina glacier. Â Walking bridge to McCarthy then a shuttle to Kenicott mine. Kenicott copper mine was built in the winter of 1911 then when high grade oar pettered out in 1938 it shut down. If you look close you may be able to make out the mill just above the outhouse.
