Alaskology

About the blog: Alaska is a wonderful and fascinating place. Whether its backcountry hiking, coastline kayaking or dining on a downtown deck, there truly is something for everyone. This blog picks up where the annual Daily News Visitors' Guide leaves off. The guide is published in late April, but that's just when summer fun starts heating up. Throughout the year, we hope to give readers a look at Alaska through local eyes. The blog also serves as a calendar of what's going on, a place to look for some outstanding vacation deals and other cool stuff. We invite your comments and your questions. E-mail me at alaskology@adn.com.
About me: I live in Anchorage, Alaska's largest city, and I served as the special sections editor at the Anchorage Daily News for nine years. My wife and I have been Alaska residents since 2000 and never plan to leave.

Winter day, summer thoughts

This is one of my favorite pictures -- my tent pitched at Hatcher Pass on a stunning late-summer morning.This is one of my favorite pictures -- my tent pitched at Hatcher Pass on a stunning late-summer morning.

If you're checking in on the blog and see that it's been several days since I've posted it may seem like I'm a bit lazy. After all, we're in the middle of Fur Rendezvous and the Iditarod is just around the corner. The skiing trails are still in great shape and there are no blog posts. What's up?

I'm in the middle of producing our summer Visitors' Guide. So while all these great winter activities are going on, I'm busy thinking about summer. That's not really a bad thing, but it does create a bit of strange sensation.

Have patience, more winter blog posts are coming.
