BORING!


Anchorage life in the time of Coronavirus is no more exciting than any other damn place. But by using the old social media FOMO trick of posting pictures only the good stuff and leaving out all the boring stuff, we can make it seem more fun around here than it really is.

I board a plane about once a week to make a short trip somewhere for work. I don't take for granted how fortunate I am to get a regular change of scenery with a day spent in Kodiak or Cordova or whatever. The Anchorage airport, however, has been looking kind of lonely lately.

What good is a ski outing if you don't ride to the skiing spot on a motorcycle?

Any month of the year here, there's the option to go skiing.

The crust skiing is over now, but it was good while it lasted.

Memories of six weeks ago.


Hatcher Pass isn't only for skiing. It's good biking, too.

This is usually a ski photo, not a bike photo.

More recently, there's been good hiking in the Kenai Mountains.



A recent bikepacking trip.

Camping in downtown Hope.

A recent flight through the Chigmit Mountains for a work assignment.
I've been watching this hanging glacier in Lake Clark Pass recede dramatically for the past 20+ years.

Returning to Anchorage from Port Alsworth on a warm sunny evening.

I'll let you know when something exciting happens around here.
