### Clear Morning View of the Mountains in front of Lake Clark National Preserve 

<video controls="" type="video/mp4" src="clear-view-of-the-white-mountins-in-front-of-lake-clark-national-preserve-and-widerness-mattanaw-1-master.mov"></video>

Original. [MOV](clear-view-of-the-white-mountins-in-front-of-lake-clark-national-preserve-and-widerness-mattanaw-1-master.mov).

These mountains shown in this video are not always clearly in view. When they are, it is stunning. I took this video from my truck to give an idea of how things look on the day-to-day, without actually taking pains to make things look perfect. Sometimes I like how things appear in ordinary moments, more than I do when trying to make things appear as nice as they could. This was just a crisp and clear moment from yesterday morning.

Below are some photos showing my rough location on the globe. When I took this photo, I was facing straight west, from the marker shown on the maps.

A friend asked me to share some recent content and I was lucky enough to stumble upon this large moose with a huge rack on my driveway this morning.

## How I Treat People Who Trespass and How They Treat Me

I own this property, and initially, the police indicated they would enforce the law. 

They did not follow through.

So this man is free to continue to ignore my objections.

And possibly commit any crime he likes, with APD's apathy working in his favor.

I have many photos of him trespassing on my property, even very late into the evening.

Just yesterday he was on my property, just entering, at 9:10 p.m.

## Stuck Between a Moose and a Winterbear

Last night on my property, my driveway was blocked by a large Moose and its calf, and I couldn't push them off the road with my truck due to undrivable snow depths and icy conditions. The moose do not like to exit the driveway, even with a truck driving behind them. On foot they are even more difficult. There was no way I could scare them off the road...
