A younger couple who lives across the street from us are dedicated bicyclists as an alternative to cars and ride their bikes to work all Winter. They also ride their young child to a local elementary school on a tandem bike, back and forth, all Winter! <br /><br />I believe they are both very active with a local group called "BCA," ('Bicycle Commuters of Anchorage'). http://www.bicycleanchorage.org/wordpress/<br /><br />(Steve, I hope the weather gets better some day! Then we could do a photographic trip to Far North Bicentennial Park or something!).<br /><br />Doug Brown.Doug Brownhttp://www.flickr.com/photos/dougbrown47/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30897652.post-38703829652679024132012-07-12T19:27:27.609-08:002012-07-12T19:27:27.609-08:00Jamie, I did a long post on Cow Parsnip (including...Jamie, I did a <a href="http://whatdoino-steve.blogspot.com/2007/07/cow-parsnip-heracleum.html" rel="nofollow">long post on Cow Parsnip</a> (including comparing it to Devil's Club), several years ago. That led to a kid in Juneau asking permission to use one of the photos for his science project testing whether Cow Parsnip could be used to kill mosquito larvae. We were in Juneau then so I have a <a href="http://whatdoino-steve.blogspot.com/2010/03/southeast-alaska-regional-science-fair.html" rel="nofollow">post on him explaining his exhibit.</a>Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10498066938213558757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30897652.post-24557261400316253422012-07-12T17:42:46.797-08:002012-07-12T17:42:46.797-08:00Okay – thanks for clarifying what those ginormous ...Okay – thanks for clarifying what those ginormous plants are, I was under the mistaken assumption they were Devil’s Club. Just had an Alice-in-Wonderland hike through some amazingly huge groves of it, and had studiously avoided coming into contact with it, which as it turns out was a good thing anyways.jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09929486289400863627noreply@blogger.com
