The mountains and the moose are less than 30 minutes from here, but you got me on the Eagle. I have never seen one in the wild on the East Coast. Our mountains (Adirondacks) aren't quite as tall as yours either. The furthest northwest I have been is Richmond, BC (near Vancouver). The drive from Seattle was breathtaking. I can only imagine what Alaska looks like.
yep, think we'll be taking another roadtrip from Anchorage to Seattle and Portland. i want to get the car dyno-tuned properly so i don't blow it up this summer.i hope the snow has melted in the mts by then....
