Being There Wow What a Summer-Alaska is a lot like pizza. When it's good, it's really good. When it's bad, it's still pretty good; and like the Pizza Guy, Alaska always delivers. Not everybody trusts paintings but people believe videos.  Nature's living mirror,  however is water---whether still or in motion, The most beautiful landscapes go  better with H 2 Ooooooooh!  The Happy go Locals don't tan, they rust, and if they smoke, they smoke salmon.The  cruisers  who inhabit this place for 6  hours a day  may have come on different ships, but they are all in the same boat-Mother Nature's.  Here are my top 5 Videos: Keep close to Nature's heart... and break clear away, once in awhile, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean-John Muir Write? Right! Here are my travel blog entries: ▼    August   (15) Salmon Fishing- Reeling In The Years Wings Over Misty Fjords-Flightseeing Tongass---No Rain,...

There's a fine line between fishing and just standing o n a bridge looking like an idiot unless you are in Alaska holding a salmon  It is truly the king of fish I have been fishing all season but not for the fish, but what the wild salmon symbolize--- the Pacific Northwest's natural splendor. The 1000 year-old salmon run is alive and well

More like Blue Sky Fjords  205 inches of rain a year and not one drop today. A unique Alaskan experience— We took off from Ketchikan Harbor Seaplane Base,  and the self-proclaimed Salmon capital of the world---the place where people don't get old, they rust...and rust never sleeps. Up in the air for 30 minutes on the single engine "flying boat" and the small remote mountain lakes  we saw below would be next to impossible to reach on foot, a reminder that most of this area is still wilderness and accessible only by small boat or plane.  In the heyday, I could imagine how snail mail (US) delivery runs must have been done this way. Hey Hey, My My Yet they were spectacular by air, like waves  each one  more powerful than the next. Pilot Jeff Carlin, picked out one of the lakes, landed the "puddle jumper"  and  JC turned off the noisy diesel engine that was a reminder that we left  the  the buzz of everyday life. A kind of...

The way I see it, if you want to see Rainbow Falls, you gotta put up with the rain. I think salmon fish in the package is nice, but then I think that rain is wet, so who am I to judge? Many consider the Tongass National Forest to be the "crown jewel" of our national forest system  One thing for sure- It's a  Watershed Moment---A point in time when nothing after will ever be the same as before when it comes to my appreciation for precipitation. It's no longer  the path of moist resistance. I like the rain. I finally got my bearings...

If you're a bear, you get to hibernate. You do nothing for six months. I could deal with that. Before you hibernate, you're supposed to  gorge yourself stupid. on salmon I could deal with that too.  Bears are a proud people, although they're not people per-say. They're animals. Bears derive their name from an NFL football team in Chicago. Bears have been known to attack man, although the fact is that fewer people have been killed by bears than in all of World  Wars I and  II combined, and probably World War 3. Note to self:“Always respect Mother Nature. Especially when she weighs 400 pounds and is guarding her baby.” Come On Dog, Mush!

And the vagabond wind, whispers over the bay and the songs and the laughter, are carried away in the sky Anywhere there is blue on the map you can find them. Seaplanes don't need runways.Taking off and landing in water has a romantic fascination because float planes  can go places that you can't get to otherwise.  De Plane, De Plane

And I Say It's Alright 5 days a year there is pure sunshine, the rest are liquid.  The Ketchikan-Misty Fiords Ranger District encompasses over 3.2 million acres of temperate rainforest, mountain peaks, glaciers, alpine tundra, muskegs, lakes, rivers, and streams. Time to take a hike and listen to The Beatles... The first tune I learned  to play on guitar was “Horse With No Name”, the second, "Here Comes The Sun” . It’s light and simple and my favorite George Harrison song. The song is in A chromatic-minor with an A tonic major chord.[2] The refrain uses a IV (D chord) to V (E chord) progression (the reverse of that used in "Eight Days a Week" ). The melody in the verse and refrain basically follows the pentatonic scale from E up to C♯ (scale steps 5, 6, 1, 2, 3.Now where is my guitar..oh yea--- Gently weeping. YESterday was cold and rainy But Here Comes The Well -Deserved Sun

If people concentrated on the really important things they'd be a shortage of fishing poles.  Carpet Diem means fish of the day around here. Pinks and Silver-Ko ho salmon. Fishing is actually boring, unless you catch an actual fish, and then it is disgusting I Hear Invoices   I am thinking of that movie with Brando " I coulda been a contender." the central theme of the coulda, shouda, woulda crowd. At sea, however,  we have no CNN effect  nor 57 channels  to tell us our dancing, singing and comedy  is not good enough as American Idol-click- or DWTS-click, TMZ-click or Reality TV. The Way In Is The Way Out It's all self referential which ends up being the way out of the Contender Syndrome and  America’s culture of envy, and wanting be, do, and have more. The disease of more is  really an indictment of our  own judgments that we haven’t accomplished enough. Reaching our potential comes from a discrepancy ...
