Ice Fishing, Snow Dogging, and Feasting on Maladadas Outdoors with the Outdoors Boys.

Luke just returned from filming a winter adventure episode of "The Outdoor Boys" that took him to a mountain top outside of Juneau where he constructed a survival snow shelter in the deepest snow accumulation in the State.

This Saturday afternoon he and his boys shared a day of winter fun with us flat landers on a nearby frozen lake that was once the set for the opening whale hunting scene in the Drew Barrymore and John Krasinski Hollywood movie "Big Miracle."

Pictured first is Drew Barrymore as I photographed her and the whaling crew on the lake for the past movie take:

And here is the lake on a recent date:

And to bring it full circle, here is a movie clip from a Japanese trailer for "Big Miracle" as it was filmed on the lake:

World Whale Day Today (February 18th, 2024)

How ironic, I didn't realize it was National Whale Day when I posted earlier today with a tie-in to yesterday's venture on the lake that was the setting for the opening whaling scene in the whale centric movie "Big Miracle" that was based on the true story of a rescue of whales captured under the arctic ice.

My mom talked about eating ice chips off of the back of an ice wagon.

Hope they weren't yellow or brown.

This is what it looks like when a driver says he can stop on a dime

We have pot holes like that here in the South.

40 lb. block of ice up all those stairs? I think not.

Now for yesterday's fun on the ice:

Here is my video version of the day of Winter Fun. This time I am behind the camera filming the Outdoor Boys of YouTube fame with their 8 million plus subscribers as they host those of us invited to share outdoor fun.

My YouTube Playlist combining the various video clips is titled, "IceFishing, Snow Dogging, and Feasting on Malasadas ..."
