Day 5-Alaska🧵 We hiked the Triple Lakes trail from south to north, 10.5 miles. It was the clearest day we've had here, and felt lucky it came on our free morning! No wind, so the first lake was like glass. Much of the hike was in woodlands but we had great mountain views on the way to the ridge.

Day 6 (a day late in Alaska. We went for a short hike in the morning. Had to chill in the parking for a couple of minutes as a mom and baby moose were at the edge of the lot. In the afternoon we drove up the Parks Highway. Saw some caribou. - Video in second post.

Day 7 in Alaska 🧵. I am several days late with this, but am getting over Influenza. We went to Squid Acres Kennel and Paige Drobny, who finished 3rd in the Iditarod in 2025, as well as winning the best kept team (an chosen by the vets). She gave an informative talk and I got to hold a foster puppy.

Alaska Day 8, we got a surprise second day where Denali was visible. Our guide took us to the place where he had his wedding dinner, which also had great views of the mountain! It was a long days drive down to Seward, but it was clear the whole way. Unfortunately, I slept a lot this day😬

Trump is trying to normalize the ICE raids/troops on our streets and the violence you're seeing as a result of all this. He's hoping for the violence in blue cities.

Not many. If you listen to them, many have been conditioned to hate their country's ideals and countrymen and believe they are the only "Real Americans" since birth. It's been a big feature of fascism and conservatism (but I repeat myself) in America for decades. We have foolishly ignored this.

Whoever says these public land sales will promote housing development clearly hasn't looked at a map of AK's road system or permafrost extent. Cost & inaccessibility notwithstanding, post-on-pad construction won't work well along the Colville river, for example www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

Uh. So if this is accurate, they're selling not just the Mendenhall Glacier but the entire ice field? Maybe someone who knows more about this particular bill can tell me more? #akleg

Ok. So this is just public lands that could be sold. Still not great to sell public lands without public input and lots of room for shenanigans in a closed door process. #akleg
