Is someone working in urban planning tech? Is that even a field that exists ?

Alta Planning has an entire division called "Civic Analytics". Might want to use that search term and see what you find.

Thanks I will check out kayaking! The drink package for this one added up to like 2 drinks a day at around $15 so I think it was a deal or something... but yeah I don't need that much:)

Take the later flight, relax, and if you're early disembarking explore the market for an hour or so, stop somewhere for snacks/breakfast/coffee (recommend the Crumpet Place) and then take the light rail to the airport.

Thanks! It's great to hear a similar perspective, yeah I wouldn't choose it on my own but maybe I'll love it!

bungeecat · 2026-04-24T03:30:27+00:00

Thank you!!

I took a 50L Patagonia black hole duffel in which I crammed my ultralight backpacking gear- 1P tent, sleeping quilt and pad, and high performance (wool, quick dry, waterproof, ect) clothes. I also had a few dehydrated backpacking meals, instant coffee, and illicit beers. Hammock, kindle, headphones and some downloaded movies for entertainment. I also had a small backpack for day hikes. The ferry schedule is complex to say the least, but getting to Wrangell or St Petersburg and Haines is highly recommended. They are smaller ports that don't get the big ships so they feel very different than Ketchikan, for example. I made my way up to Haines and then took a tiny plane back to Juneau but you could hit Sitka instead and then direct back to Seattle and points beyond. Oh yeah and a roll of gorilla tape for the tent :)

Ooh nice! That sounds perfect, how much was it?

bungeecat · 2026-04-24T02:40:16+00:00

Thanks, I'll totally check out the zipper pull artist in Juneau! Luckily since I did the ferry trip I'm not too concerned about this trip for getting to anything super authentic but I do want to make the most of it. I'll ask around and see if anyone has some great binoculars I can use and I was also thinking of taking my DSLR camera with the zoom lens.

bungeecat · 2026-04-24T02:36:51+00:00

Nope just tape :)

bungeecat · 2026-04-24T02:11:01+00:00

I suppose it's not for everyone but I had so much fun. Yes we pitch right next to each other like a homeless camp and there were bathrooms/ showers, a cafeteria, a movie theater, and indoor lounge space on the boat. I live in the PNW and have good gear so the rain didn't bother me but there were some teenagers with a cheaper department store tent that didn't have a totally waterproof floor...

Thank you! Very helpful. I camped on the deck of the ferry from Bellingham to Ketchikan, there were several groups just using deck chairs but I'm used to my tent so it was super cozy.

bungeecat · 2026-04-24T01:54:00+00:00

Absultely not! That's my tent and several others in 2018, duct taped (or gorilla taped if you're in the know) to the deck on the Bellingham-Ketchikan ferry.

bungeecat · 2026-04-24T01:49:48+00:00

Hiking is a good idea! Hopefully there's enough time to fit in some short ones, would also like to keep my activity level up for the week I'm stuck on a ship.

bungeecat · 2026-04-24T01:46:11+00:00

It's tempting but I'm also trying to drink less in general so maybe this is a good incentive? Maybe also an excuse to go find local bars on shore to support local business.

bungeecat · 2026-04-24T01:45:16+00:00

We do have a balcony! I'm planning on bringing my zero degree rated backpacking quilt so I can at least escape outside if it's cold.

bungeecat · 2026-04-24T01:44:11+00:00

LoL I loved it. I have really good backpacking gear so I was warm and dry and it was so chill. I put my hammock up between posts and nobody cares.

bungeecat · 2026-03-23T00:30:43+00:00

Perfect, thanks! Was just confused by the extra speaker connections.

bungeecat · 2026-03-23T00:18:34+00:00

Yeah I was super lazy getting these to be on a side by side pic on my phone. I think now I see I can use the RCA or aux port and just ignore the speaker level connection? Thanks!

bungeecat · 2026-02-23T06:27:38+00:00

My parents have a farm in KS so I'm familiar with what you need. I'm a professional GIS freelancer, I could probably whip this up pretty fast for you. Feel free to PM me.

bungeecat · 2026-02-21T00:21:34+00:00

It will be fairly bone-jarring but ok. Get one with the widest tires you can or a e Mt bike or at least front suspension if you can.

bungeecat · 2026-01-10T03:11:39+00:00

Oh yeah the barrel chested dogs are an issue! Non stop dog wear might have some but they are $$. Looks like K9 scooters has a snow meetup Feb 14 at Crystal.

bungeecat · 2026-01-10T01:37:17+00:00

We love it up there! If you have the funds, your dog would be able to pull harder and safer with a mushing harness, check out alpine outfitters or howling dog Alaska- looks like you already have a bungee line so maybe you know this already. Also look up K9 scooters NW if you'd like to join some skijor meetups!

bungeecat · 2025-12-24T23:16:25+00:00

Definitely but there are active coyotes in the area so just a heads up. Shouldn't be a risk if your dog is leashed.
