Guest/Dumbass, that concern is why I asked where one should keep this kind of thing. One might find oneself a mile away or outside a building where one had stashed all the supplies or discover the whole thing is under six feet of water. Or ice, in Alaska. Or - far worse - find oneself separated from one's child or elderly dependent or pets or friends.

One can only do what one can do. Nicht wahr?

Barry, everything is fine up here. I loved going to the Getaway and I love the terrain there. However, when my plane came in to land at home, I was stunned anew at the beauty of Juneau's surroundings. I've lived here almost 18 years and I'm still in the honeymoon phase of my relationship with Alaska.
