Four years later: I saw Denali

Four years after my trip to Denali national park, I revisited and this time i saw The Tall One!

I am satisfied. 

My friend that lives in Fairbanks but used to live in Sitka won the car lottery. A select number of people are given permits to drive into the park where normally vehicles are prohibited and access is limited to buses.

As the day progressed and we got farther into the park, the weather got better and we were cheering on Denali to show its face. 

We saw one bear really close, we saw some dall sheep from a distance, and we saw a moose at the very end of the day. I had to look again at my old photos from 2010 and I was surprised to see how green it was that time of the year. 

I've been using this new app called Hyperlapse, so please enjoy the videos below.

Two years later

I'm pretty bad at keeping a blog, but that's all I have to say about that!

Updates on the kayak:
Last summer I fiberglassed it inside and out:

Also, I again had to move it from the place I was working on it because I was too optimistic about the time schedule and my availability. I moved the shell of the boat first in the daytime. And I had moved the frame outside of the building so I could move it whenever was a good time. Well, I was dishwashing some nights (in addition to my day job) and after a night of dishwashing it felt like the right time to go and move my kayak frame. Not long after I took the picture shown above, the cops stopped me on the bridge, made me set the kayak frame down and questioned me if I had been drinking, if I had broken in somewhere. I was laughing but they did not find any of it funny.  I shared the picture of the newspaper with my family and they thought I was maybe the guy sleeping in the 200 block of Katlian so I had to blur out everything else.

Okay, that's my kayak update!

I'd update more but then I would probably never finish this post. So last thing is, I have a Flickr account. I've lost photos before when I thought I was backing them up and on Flickr you can upload 1 Terabyte of photos for free!  So check it out if you want, I keep it updated sorta regularly.
