Oddbean new post about login | logout @47a45c5f That's so great that you get to go and live out a dream!
@0548cb44 Yes, it is! Just one of so many places I want to visit in Alaska, but I feel quite blessed that I have seen so much of this state when so few get to experience it. 🧡
@47a45c5f I agree that's a worthwhile goal, to see as much as possible. I was lucky to be dating a serious mountain man at the time. He took me everywhere, taught me how to barefoot rock climb and fire a gun. I left after 6 months and he is still there as a college prof. AK is a must see place for people who love wild spaces. It's unparalleled (except maybe the Yukon).
@0548cb44 I am so very glad you had the chance to experience Alaska in such a great way! Barefoot rock climbing...wow! This will be my first trip into the Bristol Bay region, an area I have longed to visit. Hope you come back one day!
@47a45c5f I would love to (maybe fly, not drive next time). I've talked about it for so many years that my oldest daughter went up summer 2022 and came back saying she was going to move there. She didn't do it, but she's been saying she will someday when her work makes it possible. She is forever in hiking boots and entirely unafraid, unlike me. She's hiked and camped in the thick of the Amazon. Sent me photos of deadly critters. Nopedy nope!
