BC to Alaska on Kites


Found these two video, thought you appreciate the scenery. Spent a lot of time in that area and farther into Alaska.
Take a look.

Always wanted to get up in the Chetwyn area of British Columbia. The word Chetwyn is a Native Cree word meaning place of big wind.
I was in that area in my younger years and remember there always seemed to be a wind. The area is also know for it amazing huge dumps of fresh powder snow, records of over 6 feet in twenty four hours. Oh darn, and I have to work....lol

WOW!!! i'd love to go to the yukon and alaska-its always been a dream of mine:singing:an old friend used to drive up to alaska by motorcycle with a bunch of guys,and he told me he stopped in some bar in whitehorse maybe?or yellowknife?.......anyways he said they had some thing where you paid like 7bucks and they give you a shot with some old hikers big toe in it and if you drink it--they gave you some card that said you did it--he said you had to swish the nasty big toe around your mouth for it to count haha:oi think the place might have been called big toe saloon.....legend has it that the old hiker got frostbite while hiking and the cut the old thing off.......ever hear of the place???
