permanent groups of eagles that love the local landfill.

Anyone ever do solar panels that far north?
I see them all the time in cabin building shows,,,, the sun does shine on the great state of Alaska

We are seeing some solar panels, our power company does buy the power (at a tiny rate) and during the summer months they have some success but not so much in the winter. Supposedly there is a multi acre one going in up north but they already acknowledge that it does not pencil out. The amount of snow we had this year has any that are laid onto sloped roofs buried and useless.
The northern areas of the state get high summer temps. Where I am at we have lots of overcast so cooler temps. Last summers guests asked if they should buy bear spray and I said no (I favor the pistol or shotgun) but they should not forget their rain gear - well don't you know it did not rain on them once during their trip! We actually had to much sun and heat the last summer which contributed to a very large fire near where I live (Swan Lake Fire).

Hey where did the salad bar go? My backyard. Underneath this bull's chin we have lost lots of flowers to moose - The momma and her babies were out front licking the salt off of the wife's car.
