Galloping Stallion in West Virginia with a special rider...
Not something you see everyday. An old pre-merger N&W/SR era caboose on a Norfolk Southern MOW (maintenance of way) work train and a column of side-emptying rock and demolition debris cars. The cars themselves have to be at least half a century old and the caboose has a few more decades on top of that.

Seeing all the Rainier pics. Had to contribute my own. Our view…

This is not far down a trail from a good friends cabin. I am pretty sure that is Mount Spurr. Notice the steam vent on the right, from the vantage about 3:00 from where we see, that's a crater in that mountain. It blew about 1992 and created all sorts of travel problems into Anchorage and with Rich/Elmendorf. I had to fly to Fairbanks and then take a car, bus or train into Anchorage. I was born at Elmendorf Hospital, dad was stationed at Rich. I have never liked Anchorage...it's a real shithole. High crime, drunks sleeping in the streets... Fortunately, you only have to be 15 miles away and be pretty much in wilderness. Actually, less distance to be in wilderness but at 15 miles seems to be about the imit of the homeless fortitude. They gotta have a support system with freebies. Fairbanks is only slightly better but only because it gets cold as fuck in darkness. It's not much different than the lower 48 or other nations I have visited...cities tend to suck balls.

I don't remember for sure which peak this is near Lake Wallowa. We bagged several over a 2 week period.

No zoom on the little camera I had then. There is a HUGE bull moose right at the edge of the trees about center. I couldn't get him to come in and I couldn't get over close enough to get a shot. There is a creek there that is only about 8 feet wide but it's like 20 feet deep and some muskeg ground. I hunted him for 2 days and couldn't even find him on the 3rd day. One of the largest bulls I ever saw during the Alaska years.
Kobuk River near Onion Portage looking at the Jade Mountains. Obviously, spring breakup.

Got em in the back of my GMC Canyon right now. Makes em look all the more inviting. Driving around to all the local dive bars with a sign on the side advertising free fittings. If I get any takers I’ll post the pics.
Why didn’t you warn us it was NSFW? That other chick towards the end had some amazing titties!
How the fuck is she supposed to give me a BJ sitting up there?
Ya got me in a technicality. With all due respect, you know what I meant you disgusting fucking slob
Rail fans are DEFINITELY different. Their talent seems to lie in absolute meticulous attention to even the smallest details. Some of them can merely glance at a mixed freight passing by at rather high speed, point to a seemingly ordinary flatbed car and tell you "this unit here, Number XXXX, was built right before Pearl Harbor and was used to haul Studebaker trucks for shipment to the USSR as part of the Lend Lease"... And then you look up that number, out of sheer curiousity, and hoooly cow...
Then there are the folks who turn entire basements, rooms, museum lobbies, etc into full scale layouts of actual Class I rail lines in HO or G scale and the communities they run through. EVERYTHING down to exact detail. Even the latest burger joint right across a lot from a crossing on Maple Street. Handmade, hand painted. Windows that actually light up from the inside. And miniature diners sitting inside, in various positions of eating and drinking. Whoah is an understatement...
