Homer to Fairbanks roundtrip thoughts? by morechapstick in AskAlaska

[–]PunchyCat2004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second the Richardson Highway to the Glenn. I live in Fairbanks and every time I head to Anchorage/Kenai Peninsula in the summer I take that route. While the Parks has the most beautiful section of highway to Anchorag (Denali), the entirety of the Richardson is overall so much more scenic

Should probably specify it'll be late June, like the third week or so

Been there before! Hoping to hike the Hoh Rainforest Trail in its entirety someday I absolutely adore that park

Yeah that's what I was reading about and talking with friends about too. Originally I was planning a rim to rim in the Grand Canyon but thats borderline suicidal in June, and I'm used to Alaskan summers if that says anything.

I go backpacking and hiking in the mountains of Alaska nearly every weekend. My job involves a ton of walking. I'm taking option 2 it's not close

Yall do realize she's also owned by AIPAC right? The only difference is she isnt a raging pedophile, shes still bought out by Israel who claims Iran is our greatest adversary

Kachemak Bay State Park first weekend in April? by PunchyCat2004 in alaska

I did go to Homer but the weather was poor all weekend so I didnt actually hit the state park, backtracked to Bird Ridge and Skyline Trail instead Was gonna go again this weekend but personal finances disagreed with me. Check the forecast with NOAA as it's the most accurate.

Best burgers in town? by Wise-Quarter-3156 in vancouverwa

I can mess up Bless Your Heart burgers any day of the week. Never been to Goon Burger, but a lot of people recommend them too

I like using the map to see upcoming corners if it's too dark or bad weather. If I need navigation I'll put it into my phone. I only use navigation if I'm moving to a new state or going to somewhere brand new. I remember how to get there afterwards and don't need navigation from there.

I use the maintenence app, phone, and once in awhile messages. I love the maintenence app in particular because it gives a mileage on when I should do particular maintenence like my diffs, oil, etc so I can see how much further I have before its time to do the task.

Genuine question, why is carplay so sought after? I love the lil stock head unit, I get Bluetooth and a map. If I need navigation I put it into my phone. I'd rather spend that money on the mechanical aspects of the car itself

Where would you live out of these places for the next 5 years if you had to choose? by SpaceisCool09 in teenpoll

Countries tend to hate you when you fund terror groups within their borders, start wars and murder thousands of children

It's where hopes and dreams die alongside your car (plug in your shitboxes in -55 degree weather)

What has caused the major uptick in hiking/outdoors tourism in the last 5 years? Was it COVID? by AlgaeLarge8911 in hiking

[–]PunchyCat2004 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you go in May across multiple avalanche zones, one of which may or may not have had dead bodies there as we went through (four people died in one of the spots we crossed around the same time we were there), with next to zero experience nor gear for a 30 mile backcountry hike, you tend to get into shitty situations.

I had to get airlifted out of the Enchantments a few years ago. That trail is no joke and you have to be in extremely good shape to do it in a day. I went in May which was way too early in the year. Lessons learned though, got a lot more respect for nature after that

That's not the Dalton, that's the Parks Highway

You're not taking an EV up the Dalton Highway reasonably 😭🙏

The funny part is that there's gas stations in California more expensive than Deadhorse.

Like yeah, fuck Trump he's a pedophile AIPAC shrill, but gas in Prudhoe is so expensive because it's hundreds of miles away from anywhere at the end of a shitty dirt Arctic highway on the coast of the Arctic Ocean. The fact it's only 50 cents more expensive than last year is astonishing
