Amazon 7 #176 September 5, 2015 turtlespeedStrange . . . I was replying to a post regarding organized movements and then it said the post I was trying to access didn't exist. Anyway . . . How many people were involved in the 1975 petition? How many people are opposed to it today? Depends on their level of ODS Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Calvin19 0 #177 September 5, 2015 That was me. I was curious if there was an organized opposition to the 1975 petition to remove the mckinley name. I deleted it (in what I thought was about 3 seconds after posting) because I loosely remembered reading about the politicians/reasons the petition was denied. I wanted to read more about it before asking a stupid question. -SPACE- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skygypsie 2 #178 September 5, 2015 Excellent article, excellent program. Thank you for pointing it out to me. No doubt modifications within the initial infrastructure of the applicable requirements have been necessary since the time I was working / living there. As in any program there must be a trial & error period to work out the "kinks", especially when the word is out free monies is being distributed. I would also like to add my father in law helped build the TransAlaskan Pipeline in 1974 to 1976 & continued working the pipeline with my 2 brother in laws, in Prudhoe Bay for many years. My father in law worked there until his death. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
promise5 17 #179 September 5, 2015 Lol lol love the term "free money" But again I'm sure someone with a 3 or so years here know far more then those that live here or have lived here longer. Makes me laugh to see such " expert " knowledgeNo matter how slowly you say oranges it never sounds like gullible. Believe me I tried. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amazon 7 #181 September 5, 2015 ryoderSo it is not possible that someone did their homework and researched a topic before writing about it? Got it. I love travelling to the Canadian Arctic..... wonderful open people.... a spirit of helping others I learned to avoid Alaska on the other hand.... it was like everyone was perpetually sullen and exactly the opposite... GO AWAY... we do not want any more people here. Just my take on having only spent about a year there over many trips and TDY's Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
promise5 17 #182 September 5, 2015 Of course people can do their research and become very knowledgable through reading about other people's experiences. Yes, I think there is a bit of the go away, but I would say its more of a "we want to keep what we have in resources here" type of thing. But mostly I feel everyone is very welcoming and it's amazing how quickly it feels like you've known someone forever. But then I will say having family here helps and it seems like a lot of people are from the WI,MN,MI areaNo matter how slowly you say oranges it never sounds like gullible. Believe me I tried.

skygypsie 2 #183 September 5, 2015 I hated every second living in Anchorage. Murder warnings/ alerts go across tv screen like wx alerts. Women were raped, killed leaving the Safeway store just going to their car. A brutal murder 3 blocks from my home occurred at the time I lived there: Charles Meach chased & murdered 4 teens camping in the park on Debarr St. I lived on Muldoon & Island Dr (7820 Island Dr. to be exact), at the time. * details given if P5 needs to check it out for validity The experiences I am aware of during the time I was there does not make me "an expert", but definitely occurred, giving me some self entitlement to participate & voice with knowledge... In my opinion, the outlying bush areas are absolutely amazing...in beauty & the wild, but that's the most positive I can say about those areas as far as the locals go...back in the early 80's, at least. I have no expertise, knowledge nor opinion since.... * to keep with the thread...never heard Denali referred to in any other way the entire time I was there !

I personally never heard it called anything BUT Denali as a group I was with a couple times tried to summit that big pile of rock and ice.... not a single one EVER called it McKinley...and that was in the 70's when I was in the best shape of my life and hung out with some amazing alpine climbers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
