It´s a new dawn in Anchorage, but Night belongs to lovers

Today is our last day in Anchorage and i want to start it with one of my favorites (favourites if you are from the United Kindgdom)tunes of Patti Smith.

Enjoy it.

PS Today is Glen Beck (the fascist) and Sarah Palin´s (i don´t know what to say about that woman jajajajajaj)show in Anchorage. What to do, what to do? Still thinking about it.

Ladies and gentlement:

We can smell San Francisco from Anchorage (F**** Palin-Beck)

I love this girl. Tori Amos. And i love this song too. I think she has done something completely different. And that is perfect for me now.

I have remembered this song by Nirvana (which is one of Kobain´s well known tunes) and i have just remembered SF´s fog and everything.
Now it´s too late, but we are really happy. Everything is under control now and that is the most important thing.

Run towards your goals now¡ Tomorrow could be late

Ohhhhhh Thank you for your comments Molly (our first follower in the latest top ranking) and thank you to Karmele too (I was missing you so much during the last weeks. By the way, take a look at the second part of the graffitis and show it to Josu please, if you don´t mind of course. It´s been a pleasure to make that pics for him). Thanks all of you. It´s been a pleasure to read your comments during all this months. And we are still here writing and having fun. That ´s life. Or not? Who knows?

Anyway, i was decided today to post another thing in my blog but Karmele´s comment has made me think about life. Well, not only what Karmele has posted in the blog, there is another thing but..... i´m not allowed to talk about that now. You all will understand it later (in the following weeks, i mean)

But first of all i want you to see and share with us part of our journey to Seward, in the South of Alaska. We took the train in Anchorage (5.30 am stand up uhhhhhhhhh) and that was one of our best ideas (and we have a lot of jajajajajja). It´s been fantastic. We were like pioneers during the Goldrush in Alaska: everything was new and we have enjoyed the trip in the Alaskan Railways.

Take a look.









A glacier from the train. Awesome, yes.


We are feeling better today.

By the way, Shara Palin and Glenn Beck (and the tea party, i guess) are coming to Anchorage september 11th. And we are goin´to stay there, in Anchorage, i mean. You know, the meeting is really expensive. I have read today in the newspaper that you have to pay between 75$ and 250$ more or less. Fuck the Tea Party, smash the system, break the law. No ceasefire in Seward¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
Yes Molly, we are plotting something to explode the meeting. But that will be in Anchorage. We are in Seward now. That is all. And we want wine again. Free-Wi.......ne for the People,

Sírvela otra vez, Patxi¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJ

There are clues in these stories. Read it carefully, my friends.

Next hint: Doctor in Alaska.

Hot Springs. Is it summer in Alaska? Of course

Last day in Denali Park was great too. Of course we didn´t do the whole Stampede trail. I mean we didn´t reach the magic bus. Do you remember?

Yes, Cris McCandless
In deed, the magic bus where McCandless passed away was really far. You need one day and a half hiking to reach the bus. But we went inside the tundra and best of all, we got the best shots of the Mount McKinley. The weather was incredible and it is not easy to get that pics of that mountain from Denali Park. We did it and we were happy. Now you can see the tundra and the Highest One.



It´s huge, it´s great, it´s in Alaska. You have to go.


Iturri is happy but tired.

It was hard but don´t worry, the best it´s coming.



After four hours of hiking, we decided to go to Fairbank and later to Chena Hot Springs. Why not?

And we had good times there too. Chena Hot Springs are 350 miles away from Anchorage. Yes too far. But you know we saw yesterday too the Aurora Boreial. Can you imagine the satisfaction after too many miles of hiking and driving? I have no pics, but i can tell you that it´s a king of miracle in heaven, my friends. Outstanding and awesome. Mother Nature is still working for us. I can not understand why, because we are not treating her well, just the opposite. Anyway, enjoy while you can and live and let die, that is my motto.

Tomorrow we are going to Seward to see the glaciers.We are going by train. We will get up at 5.30 am to take it at 6.45 am. I´m goin to sleep now. Goodnight in Anchorage (Alaska)

PS. Gara, we have been without Wi-fi for skyping. I´ll try to do it in Seward tomorrow. Kssssssss

Glen Beck and Sarah Palin are planning to come to Anchorage together next 11th. And we are coming back that day to Anchorage. OMFG. We have to do something. Any ideas????? No ceasefire in Anchorage, jajajajajaja. Eat the rich, eat Sarah.

Long nights. Goodbye Stampede Trail. Out of the Wild

Let me feel i´m falling i´m falling safely to the ground



The magic bus is with us. The magic bus is in my head. The magic bus is when you enjoy with your friends and relatives.

Goodbye Cris McCandless. We are alive and we want to enjoy and have fun everyday.

The Stampede Trail, Today´s Adventure (No ceasefire in Denali)




We are goin´ to the Stampede Trail right now. Good Luck for us.

We hope we will post something before our hiking. FOR SURE.

We are prepared. Take a look.






NO CEASEFIRE IN STAMPEDE TRAIL. COME ON.

Into the wild life in Denali (No ceiling)



The banjo is playing just for all of you. Click the movie and listen to the soundtrack of Into The Wild while you are seeing the pics. We have been from 8am to 4 pm inside this awesome national Park and preserve. And i have no comments to tell you my friends. It´s been incredible. We have seen almost everything.

BEARS TOO, BEARS TOO, BEARS TOO, BEARS TOO (i think eight black grizzlies more or less) And Javi is still alive. Now is taking a nap, exhausted after running towards the bears jajajajajajajaj all day long.
Well, take a look but here you can see Mooses, Caribus, Dall sheeps, Wolves, Grizzlies. We saw birds too and the Tundra and Taiga in the beginning of the Fall. AWESOME. No celing above us.

Ten or even more wolves.
Two bears. Yes they were pretty far away but here they are.
A Moose inside the Tundra in Denali.

A hiden Moose


Dall sheeps in Denali


Two more bears


OH MY F**** GOG. This is a family, Ms Palin jajajajaja




We don´n know what type of animal is this one. I was asking to two or three rangers in Denali but it was impossible to discover this strange animal.  Take a look.

JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAAJJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJJAJAJAJAJAAJJAJAJAJAJA


Today it´s been cloudy and rainy too, but it doesn´t matter. Here, the scenery and the landscapes my friends are cozy.

Fall in Denali. Is this our Earth?


And here is the bear.....................







Nothing compares to McKinley (perhaps the Great Canyon)



We are now having breakfast in Talkeetna, which is a small tiny little village near Denali Park. After snooring (sleeping is ok) for ten hours more or less. And i´m with a T-shirt and short pants. Can you dig it? This is summer, people from Berkeley. What are we doin´ to Pacha Mama? How long is the Earth gonna be rolling? I even can say anything, but i´m sure that something is happening and we don´t know what it is (Thanks Bob), or do we?
But can you imagine driving a car and near Talkeetna and without notice anything and expecting anything too, suddenly there it is, the Mont. Mckinley.





The weather was terrific so we decided to flew yesterday (two days ago) over the McKinley, why not? And was gorgeous, was incredible, amazing indeed. I have to think really hard to remember something like flying around the McKinley and its glaciers. Perhaps, only The Great Canyon comes to my mind. But it´s completely different. We landed on one of the glaciers too and it was awesome. 

 






Do you see the blue light and the holes? OMFG, OM FUCKIN´ G.





And we landed too.............




And we continued the flight and it was outstanding. The glaciers, the light, the scenery, the pilot jajajajaj



Si vis pacem, parabellum, that is Javi´s T-shirt but you can not read it. And the other one is the great Strummer of The Clash, of course, reaching Heaven again.

Above, approaching the Mont Mckinley
Finally we decided to come back to Talkeetna, and i took the plane because we are from Bilbao (Basque country) Why not? jajajajaj

Just kidding my friends.

As i told you before its difficult to see something like that. But you are smart so with the pics and the writing i think you can imagine more or less how it was.

Now i´m tired. We have been hiking in Denali. Not too much, only three hours but the landscape is out of control.

We can not understand why but luckily the fall (autumn) is here to stay and it´s exploded completely in Denaly park. I will show you in the next post. Its raining and it´s cold but during the morning the weather has been ok. WE can not complaint, my friends.
