Eric in Alaska
United States
Приєднався 25 кві 2013
Over the years living in Alaska. Ive had the opportunity to see and be a part of many amazing things. People I come across in my travels and adventures always ask for suggestions. Things to do and see. I enjoy making video, and have been doing so for a while now. I thought this would be a great outlet to share some of that. It all started with some DIY and Polaris repair projects, and will continue to have those peppered in. I also intend to populate a few play lists primarily with Alaska related points of interest and moments worth sharing. Not really the stuff that everybody does when they visit, but some of the things they may miss or drive past on there way to the heavily worn destinations. And as time goes by. I hope to reveal some hidden gems worth exploring. I hope you enjoy it and find some places you'd like to explore along your way. And in between. I will continue to share projects and repairs that viewers may benefit from. Or, you may just enjoy witching someone else work.
Panhandling Coyote
I have driven this stretch of highway countless times over the years and have seen this behavior a few times now. Over a long stretch of years. So not sure if it's from repeated feeding, and/or learned and passed on. I stopped for what I expected to be a brief photo/video op. But this coyote was clearly not behaving like most in this situation. Usually sprinting off. It was following any passer by as I sat there. And kept returning. On this occasion I didnt see anyone feed it. But the very first time I had seen this behavior was about 25 years prior on this same stretch of road. And it was a wolf at the drivers side window of a car that had stopped in front of me. They tossed it something. And rolled away. It then started to come toward my vehicle. Like .. NEXT ..... Like a panhandler at a traffic light. Certainly a loss of fear of humans and vehicles. At least enough to exploit the opportunity anyway. I'll let the viewer come to their own conclusions, perceptions or opinions about it. Just thought Id share the footage. Ive definitely seen habituated wildlife many times over the years but this got my attention I guess because it was always the same stretch of road over 25 years.

The Richardson Hwy bluff erosion MP 112.8
Переглядів 853 місяці тому
If you've driven on the Richardson Hwy this year just south of the hub in Glennallen. You may have enjoyed the view at about MP 112.8 or so. And perhaps like me you thought. Huh. I wonder if they plan to include this in the road repair. Seems like this part of the road may not be here in a year or two at the rate it's eroding. I, like many over the years, have stopped to view the erosion's prog...
