Barrow, Alaska

[SID297]

I've been fascinated by this place for a while. This doc was just released on it today for those interested:

Wow! Talk about the middle of nowhere. Suns out at 2am, no paved roads? That's no place for me and my car. I do want to see Alaska though, maybe by train.

Lindsey Williams was the Pastor in Barrow when they started drilling there in the early 70s. He said they discovered more oil off the coast of Barrow than they ever found on land. Its a very interesting read

the whole sun never going down and never coming up 4 months out of the year is enough to make you go crazy

Isn't this supposed to be the town in the movie "30 days of night?"

I had to go to Kodiak the first week of May some years ago. I didn't realize how far away Alaska is. The flight from Seattle to Anchorage was longer than the flight from Dallas to Seattle. As we taxied to the gate, I could see a couple of dozen Northwest Airlines and UPS 747's lined up on the ramp. Then the flight from Anchorage to Kodiak (and back) was on one of those 737 Combi's.

The sun didn't set until like 11:00 pm. There were "Tsunami Evacuation Route" signs everywhere. The local radio station reported how they had to move one of the school bus stops a few hundred yards because the bears (griz) kept getting too close to the kids, looking for food.

When I flew back into Anchorage, on like May 2nd, we landed in a snow storm.

Christ. I grew up in Houston. I can handle doing yard work, or swapping a transmission, in 105 degree weather. And if I want mountains, I will go to Colo. or Montana. Alaska is spectacularly beautiful, but it sure is cold, and sure is a long way away.

I would love to visit Alaska, too. Visiting this town would be awesome, despite the rawness and cold.

I'll take my 120 degree summers

What about the taste you left in her mouth?


I caught a glimpse of the Patriot's safe house; this is where they send the rookies to get accustomed to playing in Foxboro with no sleeves.

Lived in Alaska for 7 years (1987-1994) and actually had to spend one night in Barrow when our C-130 had a problem. In 1987 a cheeseburger, fries and a coke cost me $17. Today a gallon of mile is $12...and the average monthly income is $4,500.

Will not live there. Not a Popsicle. Have no business living in a freezer.
