Lost in Alaska: July 2014

http://twoakhuskies.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html

Wednesday, July 23, 2014. Jack's Life: Part 1. Sunday, July 13, 2014. This summer I decided to take up a challenge and complete a three part series of triathlons in Fairbanks. Https:/ sites.google.com/a/alaska.edu/alaska-interior-triathlete/home. The first tri was a sprint in May. The second was an Olympic Distance this past Saturday. I was more than surprised to get the paper on Sunday morning and see my picture on the front page! The swim course was 1500 M, going out and around a series of buoy's.

Lost in Alaska: January 2015

Monday, January 5, 2015. A Few More (Photographs From West Texas). The Complete Beginner's Guide to Canoeing: Rio Grande Edition. In 1998 I earned my canoeing merit badge. I was a month away from turning sixteen and a scout at Camp Rock Enon. Beginner's Guide to Canoeing. This gem of an instructional, how-to guide is well worth a look. Especially if you plan to paddle 108.5 miles down a remote river, bordering two nations, descending class three rapids, and in country where rescue is days away. As a teen...

Lost in Alaska: October 2014

http://twoakhuskies.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html

Monday, October 20, 2014. I got dropped off at the top of the world, and as I walked back to Barrow, I couldn't help but keep looking over my right shoulder, thinking a polar bear was following me. Then I found the icy corpse of an Arctic fox and then a seagull. Both looked like they'd frozen to death. The temperature was about 20F, but with 25mph gusts, the windchill was below zero. From Deadhorse I flew to Nuiqsut. Barrow's population is about 4,300. About 60% of that is Inupiaq (Alaska Native)&#46...

Lost in Alaska: June 2014

http://twoakhuskies.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html

Wednesday, June 18, 2014. Gusts above 30mph, 30F with accumulating snow above 2200 meters, wind chills in the teens.". Not wanting to leave Washington without an up close and personal viewing of this ragged volcano, I drove out to the park the next day, after the weather cleared, after the sky once again turned blue, and after my permit window to climb had closed. All photos and video taken with my iPhone. And a nearly panoramic video view. Friday, June 13, 2014. AlaskAcross 2014: the Hot Springs route.

Wednesday, August 27, 2014. Crane at the University's Farm. Tuesday, August 12, 2014. Bicycle Tour in Denali National Park. Do you think we should ride back downhill? We pushed off and put both feet on our pedals, with the hills downward slope and the weight of laden bicycles, we quickly distanced ourselves from the bear.

Lost in Alaska: May 2015

http://twoakhuskies.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html

Friday, May 22, 2015. In less than fifteen hours we'll be pedaling on down the road to Haines. The day before any big trip like this is spent packing, re-packing, talking about gear, looking over routes, discussing what a 70 mile day will be like compared to a 100 mile day, and drinking beer- err, I mean hydrating and getting precious, much needed extra calories into the metabolic reserves. All this gear must be loaded into one of four panniers,. A handle bar bag, a saddle bag, or a trunk bag. On Saturda...
