All you folks up in Alaska have such a fantastic canvas to paint your pictures on ! Although you need an assistant with a gun and a bat to keep the bears and mosquitos at bay!Love the shots of the aurora.I was up there a month and never had the opportunity to see it.

Don't sell Oregon short. We lived many years 7 miles out the Vernonia Road (Cater Hill) from Scappoose. We have kids all over that state. If you can avoid Portland, it's a great state. One of the reasons we like Alaska is it reminds us of what Oregon was like years ago. Mosquitos are no bother but I do keep a 12 ga. by the front door just in case.

Yes it is the sub at OMSI.We used to lease the dairy farm 5 miles S. of town untill the flood took everything away,that was an experience.

I think I was there during that flood. That would have been at least 20 years ago, if the same flood. I had to make a delivery to Camp 18 at the time. That was quite a trip.

Electric Blankets are a no-no here. We are off-grid which means the the electric company does not reach us. Overnight we are on battery power so electricity is more or less rationed.
