Excellent...photo Larry. There's nothing like beautiful flowers and green fields to frame a mountain scenery.

Re: Excellent...Thanks, Marc ... I'm going to let the "younger bucks" climb on Denali.
I'd rather be closer to the fragrant flowers
and wild Alaskan salmon, at any rate ..
Man, those blueberries sure hit the spot ...!

Pilgrim Hot Springs... such an idyllic spot. Did you take this before or after easing yourself into the tub?
lcarreau - Aug 9, 2012 9:40 pm - Hasn't voted
Re: Pilgrim Hot SpringsOkay ... I'll give ya the skinny.
My wife found it first, then she had to
backtrack because I had the wine and cheese in my backpack.
The water temperature near the springs is rated between 145-degrees to 160-degrees F,
but the water temp @ the tub was at least
122-degrees - so it's probably risen, (in recent years), due to possible displacement along the Kigluaik Fault.
Not my fault ... anyway, some drilling is
going on out there to (possibly?) supply
Mary's Igloo and the Nome area with geothermal resources in the not-too-distant future.
Also, the natural rate of flow appears to be
at least 60-gallons per minute.
NO shortage of hot water and/or skeeters
out there whatsoever ..

Re: Pilgrim Hot SpringsYeah, but I'm surprised those skeeters were still hungry, after the meal they made off of me (including off some parts that I believe, until then, were still virgin real estate as far as skeeters were concerned).

Re: Pilgrim Hot SpringsMy wife was "indoctrinated" really good to the State Bird of Alaska.
We were looking for the grave-site where a few of the orphans were buried during the flu-outbreak of the early 1900s.
Did you notice how the willows are much "taller" here due to the fact that the hot
springs have melted all 300-feet of the
permafrost layer ? More growing room ..
Wish we had that much growing room in AZ!

Re: Bravissimo...Gracie, Antonio!
I need to return to Nome for a stiff shot of Vodka, while looking across the straits at
mainland Russia.
Hey ... I could probably accomplish that
(right here) in Arizona !!!
