You sure that's not the Loch Ness monster?MICHIPHIN wrote: ↑September 25, 2021 4:59 pm Last day here in Alaska, with nothing but time on my hand as my flight isn't until 9:00 PM this evening.

The drive there rides along the Turnagain Arm, a waterway which connects the Cook Inlet to the Pacific. Very scenic. The road had many places to turn off and take photos, which I took advantage of. On one turn out, I noticed something in the water, which turned out to be a Beluga Whale. Tried like heck to get a picture, but this is the best I got.

Don't be crazy, everybody knows that the Loch Ness Monster is green.

Covid….LIPH wrote: ↑September 25, 2021 4:53 pm There was a guy at the Moo & Brew Festival wearing a t-shirt with the Sesame St. logo on it and it said Sesame Brewing. That was about the highlight of the day, I was very disappointed. When they first started advertising the festival it was 12 burger restaurants and 200 beers. That became 10 burger restaurants and 100+ beers. There was 7 burger restaurants and one of them was vegan. They didn't have anywhere close to 100 beers - 23 breweries (I walked around and counted) and only two of them had more than 2 beers. I'd say at least 10 of them only had 1 beer. This was the first time they had the festival here, apparently it's an annual thing in Charlotte, NC. If they do it here again next year I'll pass.
I had 2 of the burgers, one with chili, bacon and cheddar and one with guacamole, jalapenos and ghost pepper sauce. They were both really good.

We’d love to take an Alaskan cruise. Our checkbook doesn’t support the idea.MICHIPHIN wrote: ↑September 25, 2021 4:59 pm Last day here in Alaska, with nothing but time on my hand as my flight isn't until 9:00 PM this evening.

Actually, not up here on a cruise, just work.
But we did do an Alaskan Cruise a good number of years ago. People don't realize how large this state is. When we did our cruise, the farthest north we were was Juneau, AK. I was in Fairbanks this week which is over 1,000 miles north of that still.

And good bar trivia, and can't do it here because you will google search it.
Ask what is the most northern State? Answer is Alaska
Ask what is the most southern State? Answer is Hawaii
Ask what is the most western State? Answer is Alaska
All very easy. But what is the most eastern state?......and even many google searches won't come up with this but the answer is Alaska. There is a portion of the Aleutian island chain which crosses the International date line, and have an eastern cordinence.
