Re: Bus is messed up
When I tried to ski in a couple weeks ago I saw fat tire bike tracks. If I was going to try and go out again in the winter I think that's how I would do it. I would just rent a bike. It looks like a good way to travel.

Re: Visiting Bus 142 is an insult to Chris
In defense of visiting the bus I offer my two cents: Though going to the bus is in fact focusing on 'the end' as it was for Chris, It's not so much about the fact that he died there as it is about understanding what it was that he faced, and what drew him to be there. Alaska is not like any challeng...

Re: 2012 Bus Trips
Hey Brad,
If you have time, and wouldn't mind, give me a phone call (907)982-2221. I've got an idea that I'd like to run past you.

Re: Any way for a 400lb man to make it to the bus?
The current is moving along pretty good. I wouldn't say it would be impossible, but it wouldn't be wise to try and swim it. When the water is as cold as it is in a glacial river like that it tends to make you cramp up. Even with a life vest, if you cramp up and can't fight the current, you could be ...

Re: Any way for a 400lb man to make it to the bus?
Hey Moose200x, I'm a pretty big guy myself, so I can offer my two cents. I would suggest you just plan to visit in September, The river runs much lower then. The only 'alternative route' is much much more strenuous and I would not suggest it unless you want to spend a lot more time, hike where there...

Aurora Shots from Trapper Creek, AK
Last night, I went out with my wife and a friend and we took some shots of the Aurora. It was suppose to be as good as it's been any time in the last seven years. That part didn't quite pan out, the lights were a little bit dim, but we did get some decent shots. We weren't coming home empty handed a...

Re: Was TRACY real?
For those interested,
I just asked Tracy if she knew when the Animal Planet special is set to air and she indicated that the project is still in the film cutting stage... so no date yet, but she will let people know as soon as she knows.

Any Alaskan Cross Country Skiers on Here?
Today I was adding some names/photos to the list of people who have been to the bus on my site, and it got me thinking about doing a ski-in bus trip. I'm not sure exact dates but I'd prefer not to do it alone. In particular I'm looking for someone who preferably lives up here (so we can adjust dates...
