Comments (18)I was in Alaska so many years ago, cameras were still in the Polaroid fad. Mendenhall was great, we canoed down the river. We saw lots of wildlife from that vantage point. I was never at Glacier Bay, but Hubbard Glacier is similar (I have heard). One of the interesting things is how cold it gets when you get close to the glacier. The cold air flows off the ice; not only is it cold - it is somewhat windy, too. I could be packed and ready to go back to Alaska in 15 minutes!...See MoreI'll Show You Mine if You Show Me Yours Sun Sept 22

Comments (37)I'm going to respond to this because I suspect I'm the subject of Elmer's comment. With all due respect, there's a difference between writing a critique of some aspect of a country, and "putting it down." I have been known to point out shortcomings in the US health care system, and have backed my opinions with data and articles from WHO, OECD and several American think tanks. Elmer has been known to criticize the Australian system and has backed his opinion with an anecdote from a friend. One is a critique, one is a put down. I absolutely stand by my right to have an opinion on issues involving the US. I will continue to provide sources that led me to my opinion, including sources from the internet. If that makes me unwelcome on KT, so be it....See More

10 years agoAwesome tulips! They don't grow well in my area. I like your cliff rocks, too, liz.
Caterpillar for white-lined sphinx moth I saw on a nursery plant the other day. They would probably eat tulips, too. ;)
