One of the many harbors of Sitka. You could always spot a few bald eagles soaring above!

Time for some Hiking – up Harbor mountain!

Gaining some elevation. Notice the background and the size of the snow deposits. The arrow is about as far as we were able to go

This is as close as we got. We went equipped to go any further – and it was getting really cold

These were just a few of the pictures and videos of our trip - I'm really missing Alaska's cool temps

I am still waiting for neighbors... :cry:

I am looking forward to finally closing on this place.. but I am a little nervous about getting new neighbors.. I could end up with someone like....

Dave... Or :frightened: Johnny.. he might start wandering the yard naked...

If Lisa.. I would have to be nicer to her on here.. she would definately be in shovel range... :NC

Hmm I think we might go to work.. hauling out more firewood. Right now we have temps in the low 70's.. much better.. than the 90's we were working in.
