OKpowdah Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Nice bear and by the way congrats on the job, now Pete and Jerry have their own AK forecasters with you and Baroclinic Instability up there. Baroclinic Instability is up there too? Had no idea. Where in AK? Sam I thought you were going to grad school, no? I'm only in AK for the summer. It's a research position at the NWS. I get back in August, and then move to OK the next day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisM Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 It's the back porch actually. Denali dominates the view. My front porch here looks out over 1,000's of acres of federal wildlife management land. Of course, I was just kidding with Eek, I've visited his area many times and it's nice. I just prefer desolate places. Thats stunning Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIPPYVALLEY Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 I would consider a bear sighting a good omen. Good luck in AK and beyond! What are the odds that the day before I leave for Alaska, I see the first black bear I've ever seen in my yard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ski MRG Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Nice pics! I grew up very close to Bash Bish. It's one of my favorite local places. We used to spend many lazy summer days jumping off "J" and swimming in the main pool. It was a great place to learn to free climb , if you got in trouble you could just push off and fall into the water below. There was a fatality there about 10 years ago and since then they don't allow swimming (until 4pm when the Rangers leave, lol) . Hope you had a good time there.

You took a job in AK?? Where? We'll miss your snowfall maps!!!! Good luck. EDIT: I see the answers in the later posts. Good luck--and we will miss your maps!

Johnno Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 From my deck. The past few days have been so nice I had to Its beautiful up there, we usually stay at Churchs Landing in Meredith or a rental house on Winnisquam. If I leave CT I'm moving to the Lakes Region. My relative owns a huge manison in Alton but I don't think I'm in the will lol. Any recovery in the commerical areas up there? Last time I was their a few years ago there was a lot of vacancy in Laconia, Weirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't think of a better place to swim anywhere... Crystal clear, comfortably cold Would've loved nothing more than to go right in the main pool, but alas we were too early and there was traffic... fortunately by hiking down a bit away from the riff raff we had our chance to "cool off". I'd never been there, but it's an instant favorite and we'll be back soon (after 4). That misty spray on a hot day is heavenly. Even the drive in was a good time what with the downhill S turns. Gorgeous country, you were lucky to grow up nearby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorgeous country, you were lucky to grow up nearby. Bash Bish was our summer hangout. We used to climb up to "J rock" and jump off. We would freak tourists out by swimming underwater after the jump to the back side of the falls where we couldn't be scene. Then, after a few minutes we'd resurface and say we were swimming to touch bottom but it was just too deep. Total pricks.lol The road down to Copake Falls is a great road, that was our skateboard route. One of the most horrific falls I've ever seen happened right in front of me at speed, I narrowly avoided biffing as well. Did you check out Catamount? Very close. A cool little ski area. It's where I skied as a kid. Glad you had fun. When you go back you should hike Mt.Alander which is just south on the same ridge. Brace Mountain is also cool for paragliding.

Not that most people know Greenfield, but for those who have been there, this is not quite the "Federal and Main" or "rotary" scene they likely are familiar with!
