A gift for all paddlers in North America

longer days!

Cool…
I think I remember of this happening before…

Yup. Here on the 45th parallel we went from 8 hours 46 minutes daylight on 12/21 to 8 hours, 47 minutes, 30 seconds today. Progress!!!

Yes. It almost makes up for the anti-gift, the National Parks shutdown.

Making the most of the longer days here in Anchorage


It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s … um

… er, yup… it’s a plane.

That, or maybe a drone… looks like it was moving a little too quickly for the camera to focus.

There’s a raptor risin’ over Paris.
But they’d tell you there, “Mannn, you did not see it.”
But Paris knows they’re there, she can sniff 'em in the air,
To spell it out (in her’snow) she might pee it.

Yea, Elmendorf’s joint where some stealthies stalk about,
over trails and fjords streakin’ they’re skylarkin’,
but when moose are on the loose and under keel seal slides its goose,
that’s when Paris tattles tale with her barkin’
(she says, “F tutu ballerinas hangar parkin’!”)

Damn! Now I’m going to have to figure out what to do with the extra minute per day of daylight.

You have less than 5 weeks to prepare yourselves for an onslaught of daylight that will lure you into a whole new season of paddling. In the meantime it really ain’t all that bad out and there’s plenty of open water available.

Probably good for the parks to have a rest. Not so much for visitors and employees.

The parks don’t necessarily get a rest. The roads are still open in some parks, just no bathrooms or trash service.
