Kodiak Island

[Spectrumalaska]

At this time is the longest permant record of continous human habitation.

Oldest remains are 7500 years old, but sea level buried anything below said level.

Kodiak was also Capitol of Russian Alaska when Baranov founded it.

Your history quotient.

 

[Laner2]

Also they used to make great film there. You could buy Kodiak film anywhere!

 

[Spectrumalaska]

Second largest island in US.

75% is National Wildlife Preserve.

That all this salmon harvesting occurrs every year is a proof that Alaska F&G really do things right.

Do you eat salmon, from Alaska?

Do you simp and buy colored flesh fish salmon from a farm?

Not even close to real. Lke surimi compared to crab.

Anyone makng fun of our heritage, is indeed a simp.

Does that help your consternation?

I'm not an anthropologist, but there might be some folks in Ethiopia who will disagree about the human habitation. You know, Lucy and all her relatives 3.2 million years ago. Unless you mean specifically Homo Sapiens.

 

[Laner2]

True story, just today my wife and finalized plans for a 13 day cruise/excursion to AK. Going to include inland trips to the Ididorod (sp?) trailhead, Donali, and some other shite. Looking forward to it but mostly looking forward to my wife tossing her cookies on the boat.

 

[Spectrumalaska]

Laner, I have drank too much, and am acting the fool.
Sorry to highlight you.
I am getting guidance.

You will never regret it.
I dropped out of College, CSU, engineering, as my father was.

Arrived in Haines, Alaska, June, 1, 1984. On the ferry!

As I have said, my dream was Alaska, and this how we arrived. We arrved in Fairbanks, June, 3rd, 1984.

Broke and unemployed.

Here I am still, so glad I followed my dream.

Spectrum how did you make your own way after that? I’m convinced that Alaska has been a place where Americans could make their own way, thanks for sharing

I was a skilled carpenter amongst fishermen.

King Crab was but a few years distant, now gone, for whatever reasons.

40 years ago I was told that if you treat Alaska right, it will treat you right.

I believe that today.

Was my dream to live here, and once here, it is apparent I am but an "outsider."

Regardless, what a life I have had following my dream.

Been called ", white boy," more than I can count.

USA is not all like Lincoln may seem.

Are parts underwater?

Thank you for fact checking me.

Kodiak Island has proven history 7500 years ago, everything older is underwater.

Are you wanting to engage me on Kodiak history?

 

[Charlie Marlow]

How far away from Cicely are you?

 

[Spectrumalaska]

Lucy was a carpetbagger. Damned Yankee!

Them Aluets came here completley clean of Caucasion, or any other European heritage.
They were just the ones that lived to tell of it.

Kirsten was of Aluet heritage. If you are bored, just Google Chignik Lagoon. Where she grew up. She raised gulls that returned to her yearly.

Had a moose calf in 1970, after hunters her father guided, shot a cow with calf.

The calf died, and her father never guided them again.

 

[Spectrumalaska]

How far away from Cicely are you?

Atlantis is closer I think.

 

[Spectrumalaska]

How far away from Cicely are you?

If you meant Circle, a long ways.
We are 58 degrees North here, Circle is 66 1/3 degrees North.

Very different living up there, as opposed to here where the ocean moderates our clmate.

Another reason for the permanant ccupation.

It is really mild here.

Tee hee, you said "simp".

Friends do not let friends eat Farmed Salmon !

I meant Cicely, Alaska. The fictional town from Northern Exposire. But that’s interesting too. Alaska is incredibly massive

Jewel is from Alaska. And what a woman.
She grew up legit. Cabin with none of the comforts. Among a bunch of kids raised up self sufficient in the wilderness.


And yes, I am smitten.

I heard her on Rogan I think. Couldn’t believe her childhood. What a story!

I'll have to look that up. There was another star that I hadn't really ever thought about, I think on Rogan, who was completely engaging and intelligent. The gal with the nasally voice that played Kevin James' wife. She was pretty fascinating.

What about the bears? Tell us about the Kodiak bears.

 

[Husker.Wed.]

Don't they make chewing tobacco on Kodiak Island?

 

[RedBaloneyPony]

What about the bears? Tell us about the Kodiak bears.

Inbred strain of Coastal brown bears, feast on marine life and salmon, biggest brown bears in the world. Have been known to be man killers. They do in fact shit in the woods.

Kodiak was also Capitol of Russian Alaska when Baranov founded it.

Your history quotient.

I have been there and fished around Cube Cove where we caught salmon, halibut (largest was around 300 lbs), and lots and lots of dungeness crab.

I didn't even have to pay for an excursion and my wife played "I-did-a-rod" with me last night. Some things were tossed, but not cookies.

I bet they'll have salads on the cruise. What's the cruise equivalent of the Mile High Club? If it involves going underwater around Alaska, ain't nothing getting tossed.

So did you use a bidet and wipe really well before your wife tossed your salad?

I think this should be captioned: OT. Drunk Guy Boasting About Where He Lives.

By the way, thanks for the Kodiak Power Cakes Flapjack and Waffle Mix. I prefer chocolate chip, but my wife likes the buttermilk

Was she the one who escaped Scientology?
