ShoreZone

January 11, 2012

South Guibert Islet (downloaded from Alaska ShoreZone) Today someone on Facebook shared a link to the NOAA ShoreZone Press Release announcing all of Southeast Alaska had been imaged for the ShoreZone project.

Snow Hikes

We got up to fairly heavy snow showers, but Connor, Rowan, and I went on a couple of hikes anyway. All the pictures are from those trips. Read more about the outings at my trails blog.

Indian River Trail

January 11, 2015

Today’s adventure was a walk up to Indian River falls with a friend. We hadn’t really planned to go much past the first bridge, but the day was pleasant (overcast and in the 40s, no wind in the valley at least) and it felt good to walk, so we kept on going and before long

Low clouds and occasional rain. Light winds. Temperatures in the 40s. Though clouds seemed lower today, the light felt brighter. I don’t mean it was bright day, but yesterday was so dim. After finishing up my radio show for tomorrow shortly after noon, I stopped at the channel. For some reason the scaups were right
