One of my least favorite recollections of Alaska is from a day when I arrived at Deadhorse airport after a longish flight from Anchorage. Everyone on the chartered 727 (oil company shift change) was in full arctic gear which didn't leave much room in the plane. After deplaning we walked single file towards dimly visible buses while leaning sideways against the wind, a snow curtain blowing horizontally. For the entire week of my stay (on a consulting gig) the sun never set completely and the snow never stopped blowing. Many years later I spent two delightful weeks in Alaska in late summer, with beautiful light; one week on a 70-passenger vessel and one week at a backcountry lodge at the end of the Denali road.

It appeals to my desire to be a hermit! ;-) Kit - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
