Tidepool Colisium

By Brandon Edward

tidepool enenemy

Here’s yet another little gem from Cordova, Alaska.  Out at the end of the road at Hartney Bay you can walk along the shoreline of the Prince William Sound at low tide.  It’s not sandy beaches, but a craggy, rocky sort of shoreline that gives home to all manner of tidepool creatures.  You never know […]

Ships of Old Alaska

By Brandon Edward

HMS Resolution and Discovery

I’ve been digging around the Internet and the library for a few days now pursuing my own interest in the great ships of Alaska’s history.  The information is startlingly scattered so I have set about creating an account of the boats that have been a part of Alaska’s discovery, boom, gold rush, fishing industry, tourist […]

Little Birds of the Copper River Delta

By Brandon Edward

I’ve never fancied myself much of a bird watcher, but you can hardly help it here.  Cordova, Alaska and the Copper River Delta are known for their bird watching amongst so many other things.  After a while you just want to know them.  I’ve decided to keep a chronicle of my encounters with the little […]

State of the Volkswagen Bus – Spring 2010

By Brandon Edward

I get considerably more email inquiring as to the state of the bus and/or the happiness of the dog than I do of my own well being.  Go figure.  If you‘ve kept up with my Alaska Highway by Volkswagen Bus series or Sled Dog Alaska, Getting There you’ll know that the old girl limped into […]

The Alaska Marine Highway System – MV Aurora

By Brandon Edward

I’m writing today from the marine vessel Aurora of the Alaska Marine Highway System.  We’re currently cruising about 15 knots somewhere between Cordova and Whittier on the blue-green waters of the Prince William Sound.  I wanted to chime in today on how wickedly cool the marine highway system is, and simply just to travel from […]

Digging Razor Clams in the Prince William Sound

By Brandon Edward

So here’s a funny story without much content.  You know how is when you get some hair-brained scheme in your head and ignore absolutely every piece of advise and research that could possibly squash your hopes and dreams, so it was with the clams.  A little online research, of course, indicated that clamming season was […]
