Love those Chinooks - sweep the snow from the trees across the mountain top in seconds - the winter cold too - the underfoot crunch of truly cold snow - the sound of stars reflecting off the snow - 200 elk bedded down outside the house.A warm chinook wind coming over the mountains from the south bringing -55 f. up to +34 f in a matter of 24-hours. and grilling in shorts and a t-shirt in those conditions. MAGNIFICENT memories.
say no more brother! i grew up in california im cool manWe had a couple of young gay men who'd bought property from an old-time neighbor and heavy equipment operator (one of the most honest, respectful, hard-working and decent men I've ever known) down on the Tanana River over 30 years ago, with the buyers of that property getting caught up in the Happy Creek Greenhouse raid (9 homes involved; whole 'nother long-ish story of cannabis injustice, betrayal by long-time insiders flipped under fear, and feds/badged extortionists).
They had 'some' curtilage around the property, and they'd garden in the buff; the locals referred to them as 'the nudies.' and that's where it ended... until they got caught up in the previously mentioned federal bust.
