Took a hike up Hatch Peak yesterday.

Couple of Pano's, one to the north, other to the west.

The video was the best explanation that you could have given me.

Boy, it hit me how little I know of other places. It is so dry where I have lived most of my life, I guess I just don't know much about thaw, and water standing around like that.

Nephler, thanks for the photos too.... I tell you, all those folks trying to keep us "foreigners" out of Alaska.... Those pics are not helping your cause any....

Thank you!

Hey, I saw that stuff being used at Machu Picchu to protect the soil on some of the terraces!

Nice shots! Enjoy your time in Michigan. You have Alaska in your blood and have to imagine you'll be back someday.

Home now- but have some more shots to share. Honestly, I have so many photos, I think I went a little trigger happy with the camera, but oh well. * and a thank you to those who have messaged me re: my pics. I was too caught up in seeing everything in Ak to reply to them all, but it's appreciated

Hmmm, I think light_shimmer has the makings of a first class Alaskan if she so chooses that path. What say you?
