What is this? When we do go through every single book in this box? Alright. Man. Cause then we use, man this box is too much.
Alright. Well, we’re going to do this since I got five minutes to discuss one of these books. And then, so I picked a lot of these books out of this box. Why? Because, they’re all bloody interesting. Alright. Besides the little [inaudible 00:05:33]. So, since in this video, I still have to go over a book. Alright. So, we’re going to go over Alaska. The book, the high road to adventure. This is from the seventies. The Northern giant. No, no glacier carved majesty city of the Southeast 44.
Oh, okay. I’m not going to, I’m just trying to find, some key points out of here. So, what that artifact is face the abstract faces pier from horn, hand woven till cat robe, made of mountain goat wool and cedar bark. Chiefs and leaders of high social rank of the get Tlingat Indian Nation, the predominant native group in South Eastern Alaska, wore such robes in ceremonial dances. This blanket personifies hearing rock, a sacred natural formation near a hearing spawning area in CIC top.
So, when we’re discussing the South Eastern Alaska, we’re discussing this part, this portion right here. So, right there in the map. Let me give it a nice little description. A picture of icy wilderness, unspeakably pure, and sublime, wrote naturalist, John Muir of the glacier form, rawness of Southeastern Alaska, but out of the cold darkness in glacier crushing and grinding, he recorded comes its warm, abundantly beauty in life. Today forest of spruce and hemlock and meadows decked with the wild flowers, bordered the glaciers and jutting peaks of the region. Malaspina Glacier, North America’s largest, score’s a path as wide as 50 miles from heights of the Saint Elias mountains. A warm ocean current brings a temperate climate to the Southeast, but fog and rain often shroud the lush rainforest islands and the snowy peaks of the coast mountains. Is Southeast to look [inaudible 00:08:54] in Haida Indians have rekindled their cultural heritage, preserving crafts and condition and traditions and communities like Cawlawa and Sitka. So, Sitka is right here, and Cawlawa? I don’t know where that is, but my question is… So Juneau Alaska is, there it is.
Juneau Alaska’s in this area is really next to Canada, so majority of Alaska, like the frontiers over here, cause this is just a small little skinny part, you see? The small little skinny part. Majority of Alaska is up here, which is probably, I mean, wow. What a huge, huge range. Hmm.
Well we’re, I’m out of time for this video, but I will be reading and letting you guys know about the… Like, look at that. That’s cool. What is he throwing down there? What is that? Where’s the pictures, man.
Oh, it’s shrimp. From Thomas Bay. 2,500 pounds of shrimp in a 14 hour day. In 1955, the waters of South Eastern Alaska yielded some 55 million pounds of fish and shellfish in 1975. Wow.
Alright, Alaska. Can’t wait to read more about Alaska. Read that little article Southeast Alaska, really interesting. Didn’t know, well, I didn’t know much of anything about Alaska, so… Excuse me. It’ll be fun and interesting to get to know more about Alaska. Alright. Don’t forget, we got out of this one box and we got this book, we got this book, We got this one, this one, this one, this one. They’re everywhere! Alright. So we’ll be talking about the next one now.
Drives of a Lifetime
All right. Back again, back again. Let’s find another book, right? Hm. Trying to think which bookcase we’re going to start with today. Do we want to learn…? You know what? Let’s learn National Geographic. That’s always fun, because that’s more of like a picture book, you know what I mean? So we’ll go down here.
All right. So, we got this one, this Sublime Nature by National Geographic, we got Night Vision, Journeys of a Lifetime. Over here, Drivers of a Lifetime. Wonder what that is? That looks like all of them that are very easy to see right here. So we’ll pick… Let’s pick this one. I was wondering what this one was. So we’ll just see what this is. Drives of a Lifetime: 500 Most Spectacular Trips. Can you see it? All right. Good. All right. Let’s check it out.
Oh, wow. Let’s check it out, right? We have… Over Hills and Mountains, By Sea & Shore, River, Valleys and Canyons… Less Traveled, Village, Urban, Driving Through History. I’m Pisces. I got to see this. I want to see this. So we’re going to 60, Lakes and Mountains. It’s going to take us a minute to get there properly. That’s why we wanted picture books. Look at this. Can you see it? No, you can’t. Yeah. That’s a good angle for y’all. I like that. That’s a nice picture. Look at that. The Philippines. Okay. Oh, no, that’s Panama.
Let’s get to 60 before we take the whole video looking at pictures. Let’s see. Can you see? Okay. Good. All right. We got Along Newfoundland’s Shore. No, that’s cold. No one wants to go up north. Breton [inaudible 00:02:55] Island, Miami and the Keys, Maine’s Rugged Coast, Chesapeake. This is all cold stuff. I don’t want to go to none of this. I mean, that would be cool to see, a killer whale jump out of the water, but this is all cold stuff. Okay. There we go. Now we’re starting to warm up a little bit.
Here we go. The Winding Road to Hana. Can you see it? We got from the Kahului Airport in Hawaii to Hana, Hawaii. It’s a two hour trip. You can go year round. Yeah. It even tells you Paia, P-A-I-A, I don’t know how to pronounce that, is the last opportunity to buy gas before Hana, so just remember that. And then look, you’ll probably see some… Yeah, look, “Surfer rides mighty wave at Hopika…” No, “Hookipa…” Yeah. Whatever. “…Beach Park near…” Yeah, man. I’m not very good at pronouncing the words. I’m just let you guys look at the pictures. Let’s just look at the pictures. Be happy with the pictures. But yeah, let’s see.
“You can see more than 500 species and plants on your two-hour trip.” You got the Puohokamoa Falls. “Beyond is the Kaumahina State Wayside Park.” Okay, here you go. You can go to the Arboretum. It’s the Keanae… Yeah, that one. All right. When I write my little article, this is too short to… There’s no way I’ll be able to write a long article off of that, but we’ll be able to… I’ll go over a much more of the different coastal paths that you can take that look beautiful. See, I thought we were going to see more of this, right? The French Riviera, but they kind of lied to us and gave us a whole bunch of Canada, and Canada, and Maine. And here’s one to Florida. So three out of four are freezing cold. Maryland. No, I mean, this is all cold places, like I said.
But it looked pretty cool. Right? I mean, I’m interested to read about it. I’m a little disappointed because I’m never going to take those trips. It’s way too cold. I’m more of a warm person, a warm climate person. So yeah, we found at least one, right? That’s great. So we can go swimming in one of the places. All right, catch you later. Oh, again, Drives of a Lifetime: 500 Must-See Places, whatever. And by National Geographic. All right.
