Postin' for the post of it

We had a pretty lazy weekend which is aight cause we're tryin to tighten our belts on frivalous spending anyway, but we still got out and about a little. We got to see the Supermoon, but I'll be honest...it always looks that cool here :-) We're still waitin' to see our first aurora, we'll be sure to have pics then! We got up early today thinking we'd crash the "Great Alaska Outdoor Expo" going on up the street from us...but it turns out it's next weekend. Nice job Jay. So we went for a drive up to Point/Port Mackenzie and walked around. It was in the low 40s (balmy), but still lots of snow around. Jay was a genious yesterday too and when we went for a walk he decided to wear boots with no socks, his heels look like something out of the chainsaw masacre movie. So in the below pics he may look like a cool kid with his flip flops on, but really it's cause he can't wear shoes. Oh no don't worry, the flip flops backfired on him too, he was damn near frost bite by the time we got home (he told me to make fun of him in this blog cause he's been such a train wreck this weekend LOL).
Big iceberg-like chucnks moving wicked fast down this inlet

 Yup, rednecks.

 Kind of cool, we're across the bay from Anchorage

 Cool kid...very cool, like frost bite cool......

 looks like something you can walk out on, but it's a pile of floating ice chunks that will swallow you up like quick sand and then you drown

  1. At least your getting out still even in flip flops haha. I can totally relate on the blister situation Jay. Trav and I went hiking in the whites once, I had such bad blisters from the first hike we did that the second day I took the tram up the mountain and hiked down since that didnt seem to hurt too much. When you have the drive to be out exploring not amount of bloody hamburger skin will stop you. Awesome pics by the way, looks amazing up there!!
