Homer Alaska is Awesome - Homer, Alaska, United States

Camp Denali at SunsetMap to Camp Denali [ Home ]Jump to the full entry & travel map Homer, Alaska, United States Dave and Val decided to take me on a fishing vacation to Homer, Alaska. It was just awesome. It took us two days to get there because we stopped overnight in Anchorage in order to take the truck to a Chevy dealership on a recall notice. Val did some shopping at Wal-Mart while Dave and I rested in the trailer waiting for the truck to be fixed. As soon as it was fixed we hooked up and headed south. The trip south out of Anchor read
Summer in Alaska - Juneau, Alaska, United States
CAMP DENALI, Alaska � Col.Camp Denali CabinJump to the full entry & travel map Juneau, Alaska, United States Wow, these were some of the best memories! During my summer break in college my freshman year, I went to Juneau Alaska to work at Broken Arrow Bible Camp. I worked as a horsemanship wrangler and sometimes a camp counselor. What can I say, they were some of the most amazing times of my life. Living there day and night. Riding bareback along the ocean shore. Seeing wild bears off in the distance. Watching whales splash their read
Denali 5-Piece Utility Emergency Kit
Camp DenaliCamp Denali cabinAlong with the extreme weather which has plagued much of the world population over the last few seasons comes extreme consequences. Many people are left without electricity or running water, which of course, leads to some pretty awful circumstances. More and more the word of disaster preparation and awareness is being spread. It’s always better to be safe than sorry, as has been proven from disasters from the past. The Denali 5-Piece  Outdoor Utility and Emergency Kit is a basic set of tools read
Lost
Camp Denali as seen from the ridgeCamp Denali / North Face Lodge imageIn three years of editing stories for the American Alpine Journal, no one I'd been working with had died in the mountains. That's remarkable, given the difficult and dangerous routes many of these authors attempt. But last month this happy streak ended. I had been working this spring with Tatsuro Yamada from Japan on a feature article for the AAJ about the three new routes he and two companions completed in the Ruth Gorge last year. We had mostly finished the story when Tatsuro went back to Alas read

 Discovery Camp, Denali National  Lake at Camp DenaliThis is my 700th post... Yesterday we left Tolsano and drove down the Glenn Highway finishing the big circle, stopping in Palmer to find Dave's old house, then on to the Seward Highway, Turnagain Arm, Portage Lake and Whittier... The glacier above was along the Glenn Highway, it was huge, the blue color is scene for miles... This picture was taken at Portage Lake, the ice builds up like a traffic jam at the mouth of the river leaving the lake, the water was the most amazing shade of turquoise an read

AUDIO: Diebold Whistleblower Stephen Heller on the Peter B. Collins Show
You Say You Want a Velvet RevolutionYou Say You Want a Velvet Revolution As I've been on the road this week, Steve Heller (a.k.a. the "Diebold Document Whistleblower") was kind enough to step in for me during my regular Friday guest stint on the Peter B. Collins Show. While it's perhaps a bit of a busman's vacation, I made the mistake of quickly checking out the podcast of yesterday's hour from my motel room after I got off the road last night, and though I've heard (and even told [PDF]) Heller's remarkable and heroic story a million times, I couldn't stop listenin read
An eight-inch minimum book party
 different. during the Velvet RevolutionWe Angelenos love things easy. We wait for the DVD rather than going to the trouble of a movie. We’ll order-in much more often than we get snazzed up to go out and when we do bother to pick up a book, it's paperback over hardcover every time. Then there are the things that deserve the effort and extra packaging: a premiere at the Arclight, the omakase at Matsuhisa and if you found yourself at Alpha Male and Coco de Mer on Thursday night for Taschen's Big Penis Book release party, you'd know t read
