Message #2093 of 4034  *NEW* To From Subject Date All Robert Jones   Kenia Fjords National Park Part 1 (Alaska TR) 11/2/05, 7:55pm (Last Edited: 11/2/05, 8:42pm) These are some pics from Kenia Fjords National Park and Holgate Glacier. This area was spectacular and watching the glacier calve and sensing the sensations that are associated with it were incredible experiences. I will have more later as time allows. -------------------------------------------------------- Friends are the best collectibles -------------------------------------------------------- • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #2093 • Back to Topics This message has been added to these RRBBS++ Blogs: Robert Jones's Blog

Message #2097 of 4034  *NEW* To From Subject Date Larry Levy Robert Jones   Re: Kenia Fjords National Park Part 1 (Alaska TR) 11/2/05, 8:50pm Thanks Larry. The glacier had a river flowing from the center and had a huge ice cave. Fairly often the air was pierced with a sharp cannon shot like crack as a chunk of ice would break off and fall into the water. This was hard to catch as it happened so rapidly. I don't remember the name of the bay around the glacier but the Athabascan translation was literally "The scary place" as they were terrified by the noises and waves that eminated from this glacially and geologically active area. The ice cave in the center of the glacier reminded me of the Abdominal(I know it is misspelled) Snowman's cave in the animated classic "Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer". I was half expecting him to peek out at us. From time to time the air would be pierced with cannon like crack and you could hear a rumble but nothing would be falling. On these occaisions the ice was falling in an inside cavity in the glacier. -------------------------------------------------------- Friends are the best collectibles -------------------------------------------------------- • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #2097 • Back to Topics This message has been added to these RRBBS++ Blogs: Robert Jones's Blog

I collect the scale model fire engines that Code-3 sells. http://www.code3.net/fire/ These really have some amazing detail. Anyway, they just released a FDNY ladder truck that has steer horns on the front top of the cab. So, because there are a lot of FDNY firefighters on the Discussion Board on Code-3's site, I asked if someone could fill me in as to why the horns. I had heard it was some long time tradition at that particular fire station. I didn't get an answer back yet, just a snide response from one guy saying, "Its FDNY" As I said I accidently wrote NYFD in my question post. -------------------------------------------------------- " I lift up mine eyes to the hills, whence cometh my help.", Psalm 121 -------------------------------------------------------- • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #2130 • Back to Topics

Probably. I don't recall seeing any on our drive last spring from Michigan to Indiana, but I bet there are some. There are, of course the riverboat casinos, which I think there is one operating from St. Louis? Not that close to IN, though. I do know there is the Mohegan Sun Casino in CT.
