Origin: MA

Comments: I was googling for loon pictures for new wallpaper (originally from the other VERY cold place in the US - Maine) and found your picture of Bare Loon Lake. The water looked to crystal clear, I wanted to sit on the edge and be. Nothing more, just be. I have a family that lives in Fairbanks now.
Your site is very well organized, I like the innovative use of lens-sized thumbnails for a glimpse of the pictures, very nicely done. And, oh, whoever took the pictures has a good eye for photography, too. Cheers,

I'll be looking for more pages of photos.

Kevin

P.S. I was a little disappointed not seeing sample pictures of the geo-political items of Alaska (flag, bird, etc.), but the feeling went away when I returned to looking at your photos. ;-)

I'm looking for a climbing guide to the brooks range. I'm actually in the planning stages for a trip in June/July of 2003 (gotta plan properly and in advance). I'm catching a float plane out of Bettles to.....I'm not sure as of yet. I've got several books on the Brooks Range coming my way; however, none of them are "climbing guides". Do you have any ideas on where I might find one? Any suggestions for areas to focus on within the Brooks range? Thanks in advance for your info. Later, JEFF

Comments: Hey, took me ahwile to find your web page on netscape (in Ruby). Could only remember climbalaska.com. Anyway, having a wonderful time. Took no tool boxes, inspections only. We (Chris) were in Koyukuk this am, (he is not a bush person) now I'm just finishing up playing b-ball with the kids. The reason for the e-mail; did you know that if you push the floor button the same time you push the close door button on an elevator, that it may send you right to the floor you wanted without stopping anywhere else? I did not know this and I think it's cool!!! Remind me to bring a corkscrew next time.
