treadwell mine 1

I live a quarter mile from the Treadwell mines. They were mines from early 1900s. It was a big operation which got gold out of them thar hills. I bike ride there and hike.

The birds - crows

I was looking for my friend the eagle one day. I think I found him on a on a sign on the island in the picture. While I was checking out the eagle. Hundreds of crows came out of the trees and dive bombed me. They were upset that I was not feeding them is what i think was happening.

General Shots

Just some shots in and around Juneau that I LIKE.

airplane and clouds

This plane flew into Juneau and it ultimately landed on the water by downtown Juneau.

Cloudy

We are having a lot of cloudy days in Juneau. Much of the time, you can find a mountain sticking through the clouds.

Why I moved back to Juneau - 2

The temperatures when I took these pictures was about +15 to 20 degrees. I am hoping for similar temps this winter so I can make regular treks out to Mendenhall Glacier again.

Why I came back to Juneau, AK

I found some pictures from Mendenhall Glacier in the winter time. Being able to cross country out to the glacier is the reason I came back to Juneau. It is such an amazing experience to be able to go right up to ice that could easily be 200 years old. The color of the ice is quite unreal. The glacier is smaller but I am looking forward to skiing out to it again.

Misc

Here are some miscellaneous shots of various things around Juneau. The ski fence is on the way to the Ski area. The rock designs were around the glacier. I have also seen the designs by Perseverence Trail.

Fungus and an Eagle

Just some shots in and around Juneau. You go from town to rain forest easily within 10 minutes.

Hoonah

Villages are often hard to get to, and Hoonah is no exception. It is a 2 to 3+ hour trip and when you get there, it is a small town. You can get there by boat, plane and even a few cruise ships go to Hoonah. You can fish for Halibut in Hoonah too.
