Alaska Pics

I would love to make it up there some day to see the Northern Lights

I guess you need to go farther north than Anchorage to do that. My brother has been there for almost 2 years and hasn’t seen them. I had a perfectly clear night with a good aurora forecast and didn’t see them.

Oddly enough I’ve seen the lights from a few hours north of Toronto. Faintly, but they were there.

I think that you need to be in the Arctic Circle to see them where they are green.

This is a good site for forecasting. When I was there Anchorage was mostly in the green, but not the solid center part. That’s when it’s overhead.

I wonder if @AFhockey31 was ever able to see it when he was there?

Just got back from another Alaska trip and another brother’s wedding. You’d think my family grew up there, lol. I’m starting to get some pictures together but seriously you won’t find more dramatic scenery for wedding photos:

Some of the shots I’ve put on Instagram already:

Last one near Palmer?

Seward actually.

Back from by 3rd Alaska trip. Seriously, if you’re thinking of going DO IT. I’ll have a ton of pics, this is just the first I’ve put on social media:

MOARR!

Grass isn’t green enough for my liking. Hardly seems worth it.

Montana is like that too, except their roads are 75. Which, in my opinion, should be the speed limit (if there even is one).

leave it up to the people how fast they would like to go…if you crash…well, you shoulda slowed down.

I’ll keep posting as I go through them.

Amazing place to stay…

I did a mission trip to the Yukon Territory by way of Alaska an traversed the state by boat, train and small plane. Really amazing place.

Should have brought your Blaster…

^^ I wish. But I did actually go jet skiing up there, I’ll post pics soon.

Sweet shots man!

Thanks!

Posted a video from my Alaska jetski tour to Instagram. Can’t embed here since we’re still migrating the forum, so here’s the link: https://www.instagram.com/p/BgmojKOhBmu/
