Although the methods were slightly different, the weather was way different, the results were vaguely [...]

Kodiak, an Island of the southwest coast of Alaska was home to me. I will always have a fond place in my heart for “the rock” as it is known by those of us who frequent it. I know people who love it and I know people who hate it, but I don’t think I have [...]

I need to vent, and when I vent I usually like to write. So you all get to be the brunt of my vent.

Here in AK, you gotta do some stuff in the winter, the long long winter, or else you will get depressed and bored. So, what are the choices ( I hear you yelling “a trip to Costa Rica”)? There is snowmachining, cc skiing, downhill skiing, and…… well I know there has to be more. But [...]
