I had my blade with me but didn't get pic like a dope. But anyway just wanted to share a few pics that I took this weekend up at the cabin and to and from.

Well, this is my home away from home:D


This pic is of the hills in my back door so to speak. The tree covered base of the hill is about a mile away.


This is Mt. Sanford 16237 ft. in the Wrangell-St. Elias National Park & Preserve


This is a pic of Mt Sanford on the left and Mt Drum 12010 ft to the right. But what got my attention was the cloud formation above Drum. I think it was a UFO watching me:eek:


And finally this is Matanuska Glacier which is a valley glacier. At 27 miles (39 km) long by four miles (6.4 km) wide, it is the largest glacier accessible by car in the United States.


It was a beautiful weekend for sure!!!
 
Wow, it must be nice to get out and see that beautiful wilderness. Instead, I got to spend my weekend in NYC, I still had a good time but glad to see you are doing well! I'll have to stop up there sometime and see the great nature up there in Alaska one say. =)
 
Wow you found a place with no rain!!

I am so tired of rain on the peninsula this summer.

Awesome pics Russ, you sure are lucky to live in the last frontier with such beautiful scenery. :cool: Thanks for sharing, :thumbup:
 
Great pics Russ. One of these days I've got to make it to Alaska:thumbup:
 
Great shots RussMo! Looks like beautiful country. I can't wait to get out there sometime.
 
Russ, great looking cabin. How far off the Copper River are you? The cloud over Mt Drum looks like a lenticular cloud. I'll look you up next time I'm up.

Greg, I took one of my WAKI's, Mr. MOJO, Groove Master and old faithful GW:D. Banged up the last 3" of the waki on some rocks but cleaned it up enough to keep on trucking. If you ever need a fire starter just use the WAKI, makes for some good sparking!!!
