Coming in for a Landing to Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: While walking the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail and a view looking to the northeast as this United Airlines airplane came in for a landing to the nearby airport. In composing and metering this image, I used some time before an airplane flew over to kind of get an idea of what I wanted to capture with a plane flying over and landing as well as getting the right shutter speed to capture as much of the dynamic range of the setting that I could. It was the focus part that was a little trickier for me. I decided to use the 3-D tracking on my Nikon D800E camera, even though I had not experienced as I might want to be. This was definitely a great place to try it out and learn!

Hiking the Chilkoot Trail in Alaska and Yukon

December 24. 2022. I looked in horror to see Kathy sink in the snow, walking twenty feet in front of me. She was down to her waist before she stopped sinking. I lurched forward and flattened myself on the snow-covered field reaching towards her with my outstretched walking pole. With effort by both of us, she crawled out of the snow with a disbelieving smile on her face. Deeply etched in my…

Christopher McCandless, The Man who Hiked to Death

Born February 12th 1968, in Inglewood, California, Christopher McCandless was immediately plunged into a chaotic family. His sister, Carine McCandless, documented in her book ‘The Wild Truth’ that they shared their home with six half-siblings. Carine also alleged that her parents were abusive, both physically and verbally, toward the McCandless children. She documented how her father was an alcoholic, and their mother often fed off his evil energy, inflicting her own abuse upon them.

The McCandless never stayed in one place for long as Walt McCandless worked for NASA as a rocket scientist, taking him across the U.S. Eventually, the family settled in Virginia long enough for Christopher and Carine to graduate.

Following his graduation from university, Christopher knew he needed to travel. He had spent much of his childhood moving from town to town, state to state, and this had a profound impact on his outlook on life.

He only stayed in one place for a short time, seeing the beauty in exploring the world. In mid-1990, Christopher left Virginia for new pastures and began driving West. He stopped in towns and cities along the way, picking up odd jobs to make ends meet. By April of 1992, Christopher was itching for another adventure, and that is when he decided to make his way to Alaska, the final frontier of the U.S.

Incredibly, Christopher managed to hitchhike from Carthage, South Dakota, to Fairbanks, Alaska, a whopping 3,000+ miles through Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia and Yukon, Canada. Eventually, he arrived, and he began planning his largest expedition yet. He wanted to hike through the Denali National Park. The park covers over 6,000,000 acres in the middle of Alaska. Communities are few and far between, with many Alaskans congregating near large towns and cities.

Despite the harsh weather conditions of Alaska, Christopher McCandless seemed ill-prepared. Fellow hikers and locals recalled seeing Christopher arrive in Fairbanks carrying only a backpack. He also stood out for his ‘Hippie-like’ appearance, choosing to remain unkempt and dirty. April 28th 1992, would mark the last day that Christopher McCandless would ever see the seeds of civilisation.

That day, Jim Gallien was flagged down by Christopher, who was looking for a ride to the Stampede Trail in the Denali National Park. Gallien later told author Jon Krakauer that he had doubts about the 24-year-old’s survival from the start. When he got into his car, Christopher had minimal clothing and a backpack. Christopher explained that he was carrying a 10 lb bag of rice, a Remmington semi-automatic rifle and a pair of Wellington boots inside his bag. Gallien was, in fact, so concerned that he offered to drive Christopher to Anchorage so that he could purchase the necessary equipment for him. He knew how harsh and unforgiving the Alaskan landscape could be, and per population, it has an alarmingly high missing persons rate. Throughout their drive, Christopher assured Gallien that he would be fine and had hiked many times before.

It wasn’t until months later that Gallien learned Christopher’s real name, as when he had picked him up, he had simply given the name ‘Alexander Supertramp’. The only item that Christopher accepted from Gallien was a map. Before leaving, Christopher asked Gallien to snap a picture of him at the Stampede Trail, making this one of the last photographs ever taken of Christopher McCandless.

For two days, Christopher hiked the Alaskan wilderness, soaking in the beauty of the Denali National Park. After a gruelling march, Christopher made it to an abandoned blue and white bus. Whilst the exterior was rusted and hadn’t been loved for some time, Christopher recognised it was the perfect shelter and base camp. He wasted no time setting up his gear and prepping his new home.

The blue and white bus that would become a notorious tourist hotspot was not Christopher’s intended finish line. According to his diary, which was later discovered with his body, Christopher had planned to hike through the park and to the Bering Sea. Christopher remained at the blue and white bus for two months, eagerly journaling every step. Christopher wrote in his diary that he had begun consuming the roots of the Hedysarum Alpinum plant. Christopher also detailed in his diary how he had trapped and hunted small game and wildlife. He had successfully hunted a moose/caribou with his rifle. However, the meat was rotten by the time he came to consume it. With just 10 lbs of rice and foraged plants, Christopher rapidly began losing weight.

The lack of food and people was beginning to get to Christopher, who heavily documented his trip via his journal and camera. On July 3rd 1992, Christopher packed up his things, leaving the blue and white bus behind.

With a map in hand, Christopher hoped to reach civilisation once more, but the landscape had changed and he became distressed and returned to the blue and white bus to wait out the days until the river froze over once more.

On July 14th, he also began to incorporate the seeds of the Hedysarum Alpinum plant into his diet, as was documented in his diary. The meagre diet of plant material and small animals was nowhere near enough to sustain Christopher, who continued to waste away. As he continued to weaken, he lost his energy and ability to forage further afield for plants and fruits.

Christopher McCandless made his final diary entry on what he noted as ‘Day 107’. The entry simply reads, “Beautiful blue berries.” Author Krakauer noted that days 108 through 112 had / (slashes) but no words, and after Day 113, no more entries were made. Sometime around these final diary entries, Christopher wrote, “I have had a happy life and thank the Lord. Goodbye, and may God bless all.” It is clear Christopher knew his end was coming, and he had made his final preparations and peace with his fate.

It wasn’t until September 6th 1992 that the grizzly truth would be revealed.

That day, hikers in the Denali National Park came across the blue and white rusted van that Christopher had once called home.

These hikers had the same idea as Christopher and were eager to use the bus as shelter.

When they approached the bus, they found a note taped to the door which read “Attention possible visitors. S.O.S. I need your help; I am injured, near death and too weak to hike out. I am all alone; this is no joke. In the name of God, please remain to save me. I am out collecting berries close by and shall return this evening. Thank you, Chris McCandless, August.”

As they moved through the bus, they saw the familiar outline of a human in a sleeping bag. After reading the note, they hoped that Chris had managed to survive, but all hopes were dashed when the stench of decay overcame them. The hikers took a closer look, and their worst suspicions were confirmed. Christopher McCandless was deceased, his body decaying in a sleeping bag in the back of a rusted-out bus.

Alaska State Troopers and Denali Park staff were summoned to the bus where Christopher’s body was recovered. His family were notified of the terrible news, and preparations for his body to be returned to Virginia were made.

Christopher’s passing marked a turning point in the culture surrounding hiking and travelling. He had wilted away in the wilderness when a bridge and cabin were within a few miles of his location.

From mossthebogwitch I had no idea what i was doing but I did my best.

Since it was now a dare i am submitting myself for a matchup: presently I am mortified.but too curious to back down now. I have sealed my own fate per usual. I appreciate you taking me on this journey and hope you enjoy the experience! I don't know what gender I prefer in partner: I have a huge weakness for Kíli - I have no hard fast rules- just have fun it's a Tumblr matchup yknow?🤣

I would prefer Hobbit based matches since that is my current hyperfixation.

I radiate golden retriever energy: loyal, never gonna give you upn never gonna let you down, never gonna turn around and desert you. I'm the unofficial security guard according to my boss. I have a level head under pressure and I don't back down. I have a constant stream of humor. The comedy doesn't end. I enjoy being an artist and writer in many media's. I study folklore and weird nature things. Im the weird facts kid grown up to the ' adult who knows how to do a bunch of different things'.

I have trouble socializing due to anxiety and OCD. Because of this I'm naturally more of a watcher until I feel comfortable. I'm either casually friendly or hiding behind other people talking. I'm a mom friend and the one people go to for help. I work in counseling its natures pipeline.

If I'm not working, reading, tending my pets, wild foraging for supplies or exploring hiking trails, I can be found cobbling together my house and garden from whatever I get my grabby hands on.

I have a community garden and regularly supply winter camping gear, food, first aid, and hygienic supplies. I do feral cat housing too so I just do a lot of weird stuff. Last week I saved a squirrel?? Befriending crows is starting this week lol. Never dull.

I plan on painting my entire house in fantasy based murals and hiding meme paintings behind appliances..Spock is behind my stove.

One funny thing i do that my coworkers thinks is hilarious is I have an entire measurement system for measuring animals using only potatoes as a counting system. Yknow how you count horses with hands?I count animals using potatoes and i am right every time the key is when to switch your counter between Russetts and Yukon golds. It's a good day when a growing animal graduates from being counted from russetts to Yukon golds.

I'm 5'0 and don't mind because I grew up LOTR with Gimli!! He's short and I'm short too!! I am told I have mood ring eyes that change shades of blue with my emotions and I'm red green color blind so that's fun.

Voted most likely to have a mug of coffee or tea in hand at work while I give one of my coworkers a gentle peptalk which turns into me pulling out the Gimli scale and asking them where they are on there today.

Yes, this is great @mossthebogwitch ! More detail always helps on my end 🥰 also you sound like such a fun person I wanna be friends 😆😆😆 the potato counting & secret memes are legendary OMG! I definitely saw you with a dwarf right away, but after some thought, I decided on...

Bofur!

You meet under curious circumstances, you having settled at the foot of the great mountain after the war. Thinking you are alone, you had made your way to the woods, idly walking until a chattering squirrel spiraling up a tree distracts you. Given your love of animals, you strike up a conversation, getting quite lost in it all when a jovial voice rings out behind you, asking if you’re getting along, then. Turning, you see a dwarf with a large floppy hat and twin braids standing a ways behind you, apologizing for startling you- you must've jumped more than you realized. In the end, he introduces himself as Bofur and offers you a piece of one of his brother's biscuits from his pockets to give to the squirrel. Finding out that he works as a toymaker, you promise to visit his shop, and when you take in all the wonders he creates with his cousin, well, you can hardly stay away! Bofur ends up enlisting you to paint murals upon the walls of his and Bifur’s shop, which the young ones of Erebor and New Dale alike delight greatly in. Bifur is very impressed by your art and building skills, elbowing Bofur at every chance he gets and waggling his eyebrows over the amazing lass that’s seemingly just fallen into his life.

The first time Bofur actually initiates some time alone with you, he asks you to join him for a night in town, and that’s when he learns you work with livestock. You best believe he laughs his mustache off at your counting technique and also vows to steal it. You can see in his manner, though, and what you know of him that he would be great with the animals too. He can see that you prefer him not to ask so many personal questions and to lead the conversation which he is more than happy to do! He tells you all about his family, the quest he went on, his funny nice hobbit friend Bilbo, where to get the best ale in town if you’re into that sort of thing, a cool rock his brother found in the mines the other day, you name it! Everything is lighter when you two are together. Ever the gentleman, he waits to share your first kiss until he is completely sure you’re ready.

Bofur loves your height; you are a few inches taller than him, not much but just so that he can rest his forehead against yours and put his head on your shoulder. Either one of you can cuddle against the other’s chest as desired. Knowing how much of your time goes to helping others, though, brings the dwarf to lean heavily towards caring for you whether that means he is the one holding you or singing for you or simply by giving you lots of time to get comfortable and express your needs, even if it’s hard. Even in your most tender moments, though, both of you are cracking jokes. Always laughter between you two! Anything big gets called a Yukon Gold with you two because he just loves that saying so much.

If you are comfortable with it, Bofur loves to take you dancing just to show you off! He also adores the way you’ll stand up for him if anyone is mean or pushy- your loyalty is astounding and you truly have a dwarf-like spirit. He gets heart eyes when you become a de facto bouncer and actually throw a drunk or two out of the place. He also takes you camping, pitching a tent and bringing your supplies so you can stay wrapped outside with your animal friends and some weenies to roast beneath the stars.

Teases you to high heaven about being colorblind, though. Overdramatically reminds you what color you’re painting that toy, asks you if you’re sure that’s the right color for the leaves on your mural. Feel free to smack him lightly, he knows he deserves it and he’ll just laugh! If anxiety or OCD symptoms lead to you having a routine or a placement of things that being comfort (if so, big mood friend!), Bofur is definitely the best at remembering to have them out there and follow that for you, no questions asked. You’ll feel so cared for, that his house is a home. You are his warm hearth, his neverending laughter, the only person who could convince him to take home a wounded opossum and call it Bofur jr. but this is his life now and you know what? Bifur was right- he’d run into quite a catch in those woods, a lass far more beautiful than any old fern or flower.

Miles Canyon - August 2023 Miles Canyon is located near Whitehorse, Yukon Territory. There is a nine mile long hiking trail which explores much of the canyon. There is also a short walk to a suspension bridge which shows most of the canyon. I took the short walk. The view was so impressive that I even walked across the suspension bridge to get images from the middle and from the other side. MWM

Canada is an ideal travel destination for nature enthusiasts and adventurers, boasting vast and diverse landscapes. From the majestic Rocky Mountains to the rugged coastal cliffs on the Atlantic, Canada's natural wonders offer a breathtaking array of experiences that are as awe-inspiring as they are unforgettable.

Niagara Falls, one of the world's most famous natural wonders, is a majestic sight that any visitor should experience. The power and beauty of the waterfalls straddling the Canadian and American borders are awe-inspiring. Visitors can join the Maid of the Mist boat tour for a closer look at the impressive falls, enjoy a panoramic view from the Skylon Tower observation deck, or hike in Niagara Glen.

Banff National Park, situated in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, showcases Canada's breathtaking alpine scenery. The stunning landscape of towering peaks, turquoise glacial lakes, and lush valleys looks like something out of a fairy tale. Lake Louise, a beautiful jewel of the park, is famous for its crystal-clear waters that reflect the surrounding peaks. The smaller Lake Moraine is no less stunning, with its turquoise waters surrounded by snowcapped peaks. The park offers many adventure opportunities, like hiking through pine forests, biking along scenic trails, and paddling around the lakes.

For travelers looking to explore the coast of Nova Scotia, the Cabot Trail is a picturesque highway winding through the Cape Breton Highlands and offering breathtaking views of the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the Atlantic Ocean. The Cabot Trail is spectacular, with its rocky cliffs, verdant woods, and quaint seaside towns.

Walking in a Wildlife Wonderland (Katmai National Park & Preserve) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: This was a big brown bear that happened to be wandering about near the end of the boarded walk trail going to Brooks Falls. We had just left the platform area and were walking back...then we saw him! If you look closely, you will notice the bear was looking our way.

Chinook Dog Breed, Car, And top5 Facts Full Information

Created in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, the Chinook dog strain made its name on Admiral Byrd’s first Antarctic passage in 1928. These days they’re multipurpose tykes who are happy hiking, contending in dexterity and other canine sports, pulling a sled or other vehicle, and playing with the kiddies.

Indeed though these are thoroughbred tykes, you may find them in the care of harbors or deliverance groups. Flashback to borrow! Don’t shop if you want to bring a canine home.

Chinooks are generally sensitive and gentle tykes with an affable addresses. They’re exceptionally smart and loving with their family members, including kiddies and other tykes. neophyte pet parents should guard, however, because these tykes need to be educated, and have harmonious training.

Although they can acclimatize to apartment life, these tykes would prefer homes with big yards to run around — and those yards need to be secure. Chinooks are diggers, so make sure your yard’s hedge is tough and able of precluding Houdini- suchlike escape attempts.

Origin: United States Height: 24 to 26 inches and Bitches 22 to 24 inches Weight: 60 to 75 pounds and Bitches 50 to 65 pounds LifeSpan: 12 to15 years Color: Fawn, red-gold, silver fawn, tawny, palomino, or gray-red with dark markings

Tawny-carpeted, no-frills Chinooks are muscular and substantial, with males standing as high as 26 elevations at the shoulder. Ladies, with their distinctly womanlike look, are a bit lower.

Chinooks were conceived as binary-purpose vehicles, with the power of loading tykes and the speed of sled racers. They’re the picture of lionhearted quality, with a kindly eyeblink in their dark, almond eyes.

Chinooks are calm, people-acquainted tykes with a special sense for children. They’re trainable workers who aim to please.

History Of Chinook Dog

The Chinook is largely the creation of one man, Arthur Walden of New Hampshire, who had experience as a musher in the Yukon.

In 1917, he bred a large, blond, mastiff-type ranch canine to Admiral Peary’s Greenland husky lead canine, Polaris, to produce three puppies. Walden renamed one Chinook, and this canine came a prized lead canine.

Walden and Chinook brought the sport of sled canine racing to New England. Chinook was bred to Belgian and German Cowgirl working tykes, Canadian Eskimo Dogs, and conceivably others. His seed was named Chinooks in his honor.

At nearly age 12, the original Chinook and 15 other Chinook tykes were part of Admiral Byrd’s 1929 Antarctic passage. Byrd described them as the backbone of the passage. Unfortunately, Chinook failed while there.

The Chinook Trail in New Hampshire was renamed to recognize Chinook. Walden latterly passed on his kennel to another breeder, who didn’t continue the line.

rather, current Chinooks descend from three tykes – Jock, Hootchinoo, and Zembla who were placed before the Antarctica passage.

ultimately, these tykes were passed to another breeder, who ended only males or desexed ladies so nothing differently was suitable to breed them. After his death in 1965, another breeder continued.

In 1965, the Guinness Book of World Records listed them as the rarest canine, with only 125 samples. By 1981, only 11 breedable Chinooks remained.

Several breeders fought to save the strain, crossing tykes with other Chinook foundation types and working to raise mindfulness of the strain. The UKC honored the strain in 1991.

In 2009, the Chinook came to the state canine of New Hampshire. The strain entered the AKC Working Group in 2013.

Why Nature Means Everything

Nature is a constant. No matter what difficulties I face, I know that I can use the beautiful outdoors around me as a resource to ground myself. To feel the wind, snow, rain, or sun on my body. Nature makes me feel at peace. There is nothing quite the same as going for a long walk outside to clear my head and relieve stress. Doing this, I reflect on my life and actions, which is why I believe that nature aids me in becoming the best version of myself.

My sense of place was offered to me by my parents, as nature has been a part of my family ever since I can remember. Camping trips since I was a toddler have brought us closer together, and my introduction to camping might be what sparked my love for nature. Nature can bring people closer together, as my Dad and I used daily hour-long walks on a hiking trail to learn more about each other’s lives. I’m so grateful that my parents introduced me to the endless positive aspects nature has to offer, as it has shaped who I am to this day. But their love for nature began way before I was around.

My parents met in the Yukon working summer jobs years ago. They returned to Ontario for school, but each following summer they returned to the great north. They eventually had their wedding there as well. This past summer, after hearing the countless stories of the Yukon and all of its beauty, I decided to see it with my own eyes. On the first day I arrived, I had the biggest smile on my face as the scenery was everything I had dreamed it to be, and I quickly became eager to adventure. 4 months later, nature's beauty still shocked me. I hiked the local trails, I went camping, and my favourite was seeing the mountains on my morning commute to work each day (it never got old). Everything I did in the Yukon was to honour my parents, and I loved every moment.

My favourite part of the summer however, was my job. I worked at a wildlife preserve, working 2 part-time jobs; animal care and wildlife interpreter. I spent my summer outside, sharing my love for nature and wildlife with thousands of people. As a wildlife interpreter, I was able to educate tourists (and locals) about 11 arctic species. I had to learn how these animals adapted to the harsh subarctic climates. The job was focused less on the non-living nature, though understanding and appreciating my environment was still an important aspect of the job.

I’m studying wildlife biology and conservation here at the university. I would say that nature not only makes me who I am, but it is my past, it is my safe place, it represents my future ambitions, it is my life, and it is a constant.

Appearance

The Chinook has a double fleece that can be relatively thick depending on the climate the canine lives in. Chinooks are a double-carpeted strain.

Their leathers are short and thick, with a down- suchlike texture that provides important-demanded sequestration in cold rainfall. Their outercoats are straight, short, and coarse, with longer hair on the trim.

The Chinook strain’s compact muscular frame is ideal for this gentle sled canine. The body is well balanced, its the casket is deep, the bone is moderate, and the musculature is flexible. The skin on the head is tight and wrinkle-free.

The eyes are almond-shaped, medium in size, and have an intelligent expression. The eye skirtings are darkly painted. The bases are round in shape, strong and compact.
