- In this episode, I am exploring the Kenai peninsula of Alaska. Besides world class scenery, this area has a lot of history too. Alaska used to be colonized by the Russians, until they sold Alaska to the Americans in the 60s.

This episode is particularly close to my heart. My husband, my 18 month old daughter and I lived in Soldotna, AK in 1968. We lived in a 10 x 50 Marlette house trailer. My husband worked on oil rigs in the Cooke Inlet. He was gone for long periods of time. I was alone much of the time. Anchorage was 150 miles north of us on a frozen tundra road. We lived within 200 feet of the Kenai River. I would often venture to Homer to buy fish, again on a frozen tundra road. There was a 6.2 MG earthquake that struck in the middle of the night. The Kenai Glacier broke up as a result of the earthquake . The Glacier broke apart, came roaring down the Keani River toward our home. You could hear the massive cracking and roaring as the Glacier broke apart and moved. I bundled my daughter and myself up in the warmest clothing we had, thought I could drive across a bridge toward Anchorage, but the propane tank had broken away from the trailer and was leaking gas next to the car. I didn't dare start the car. So, I carried my daughter and walked to the bridge crossing, about a mile away. It was 22° below zero. I had no other choice. I waited for about 2 hours, walking and holding my daughter. I walked in circles to stay warm. Finally, I heard a truck engine coming toward us. A neighbor with his children and wife had left their home on the River too. They saved our lives. We lost everything except the clothes on our backs and our lives. My husband was on a Shell rig working. The rig did not topple over, but it was over 2 weeks before I knew if he was dead or alive. No cell phone in those days and no communication of any kind. I left 3 weeks later from a airport hanger on a C130 cargo plane, went to Seattle and have never been back.
So sorry to hear your frightening experience. I live in Australia and well remember that event. You suffered badly but learned something precious. You can lose everything but not lose the most precious thing. Your husband your daughter your own life. That is something all of us need to appreciate every day. Here you are today all these years later with sustenance and covering again plus access to a computer.....you have done well lass
Wow.
Wow, what a life-story. So glad to hear that you didn’t suffer any loss of loved ones.
I am from Seattle and I miss my “old” hometown so very much. Noraly is such an inspiration.
ho my gosh what a story ! I got goosebumps reading that you waited for 2 hours, keeping warm moving around with your little girl. It's was a terrifying moment but you got trough. Luckely you were smart enough to leave the house and go and not just sit around and wait. I can relate a little bit, i hitchhiked a lot in Canada all seasons round. Waited for quite a while in the winter on the side of the roads and not much trafic or not at all, I remender very well the feeling I had !
Wow Smart Lady
I have lived in America all of my life and watched some great footage on the PBS television stations filmed with $100,000 worth of cameras and production equipment, but your videos with your budget cameras have shown me more beauty than I have ever seen in America. You are amazing. 😎
yes and Mexico and Canada too
I would like to add, also, that the down-to-earth presentation makes these videos so relatable, unlike the high-dollar documentaries.
You could spend your whole life exploring the US and Canada and never see it all...I'm trying!!
🇨🇦🍻🇺🇸
I sure agree with VonBluesman, too!!
I mean, there's literally hundred thousands of "vloggers" in the internet today, but few can make such content that would excite and grab the attention of the viewers up to the end of each videos. And Itchyboots is one of those!
It's crazy because it's not like she shared some super exciting mind blowing information in this episode. Yet here I was hanging on to every bit of information she shared with us today. I was googling the locations and crossreferencing dates and events she shared with us. 😂😂
I'm soo grateful she gave up her 9-5 to pursue travelling full time because I swear I've traveled the world without leaving the couch and learned a lot of cool things along the way. Thank you Noraly. ❤
Wrong! She is not "one of those", she is Noraly; the best!!!
I agree, she is incredible in her authenticity and research in where she travels. Thanks Noraly
Noraly is absolutely amazing! She definitely invests a tremendous amount of time in studying each day of her travel, the history, the route, the geological features, and other sites of unique history!
The quiet time at the end with kitty was pure gold. As the saying goes the little things aren't so little.
That kitty has declared Noraly to be it's own.
@@mikejones8866 It was purring so loudly haha....almost all dogs in all other videos of Noraly. Now it's kitty cat time! 😊😻
@@Lovecats45
She loves all critters - except the ones that chase & try to bite her!
Cool overhead closet... (18:35)
Watching you pet the cat at the end made me think that the place, the chair and the cat were the peace you needed. What a nice moment. ❤
Wow what a place Alaska is! Feeling a bit sad knowing the adventure is almost over…Thanks Noraly for taking all of us with you.
I know, huh? Riding on her handlebars is the best. I think this trip has been my favorite of all of them.
Just enjoy the moment 😊
There's a lot more to come, northern Alaska has a lot to offer as well.
@@thomascragg783 Yes there is, but she is rapidly running out of time due to the coming weather, driving over the brooks range is no joke, especially on a motorcycle
Yeah it’s 20 degrees today in Wasilla. I know because I’m outside smoking a joint right now
To our dearest Noraly, We are all experiencing separation anxiety at the thought that this glorious journey will soon end. You are pure joy to all of us.
It takes a special kind of human to savor and thrive solo in various environments. Bravo.
That was a super cutie kitty..........
Simple moments.....simple joys........
Watched it , , , quite heartwarming .........
This episode is ALSO close to MY heart. My father (a Kentucky hillbilly) had a deep rooted boyhood dream to go to Alaska. Like the Beverly Hillbillies, we bought a new car, loaded it up (w-roof luggage carrier), and headed off from St.Louis to Anchorage via the 1200 mile all gravel AL-CAN Highway in the spring of 1965. What an absolutely gorgeous place to live with so many, many places to go and things to do. I especially remember walking upon the forest tundra, a active glacier, the Cordova Iceworm Festival, the USPS @ North Pole AK ( just south of Fairbanks), the Sun just kissing the top of the mountain and then a new day began. We lived there from my age of 11 through 13. We were forced to return to the greater St.Louis east in Illinois due to my grandmother's lingering life-threatening illness. We had always planned to return but unfortunately, never did. I developed a great bond with a native Alaskan (his birth village was above the arctic circle) and a black neighbor. My grandfather was half Cherokee and my mom was of Dutch descent and although my lineage may be a sorta Heinz 57 variety, my skin color is Caucasian. My girlfriend was German. Anchorage is a melting pot of culture & race. Although we knew of the race rioting in the lower 48, we had NO issues in Anchorage. I lived in a racially mixed neighborhood and my "colored" neighbors treated me like a son. It was pointed out to me that I also was "colored" -- "peach colored". My point ... we multi-cultured best friends just could not understand what all the racial tensions were about. We only saw each other ... our cultural differences didn't matter. I truly miss Alaska.
What a cool idea to put that cottage in a Poly tunnel and such a lovely little gesture to a put welcome note on the Chalkboard 👌... Epic scenery once again!
and what a beautiful cat!
@@AndyFromBeaverton im highly allergic to Cats so thats a hard pass for me im afraid!
@@Markevans63 haha, me too, but it's YT, so my eyes ain't tearing now 🤣😂🤣. Still a beautiful animal nonetheless. BTW: don't you get the feeling that they sense you are allergic and just because of that they walk up to you. I get that all the time, a cheeky bunch they are...
@@ewoutbuhler5217 yup they definitely know that we suffer and vindictively target us! Evil creatures 😡
@@Markevans63 that! 🤣🤣🤣
I've gotta say that If they gave awards for the best production,, most interesting content, and overall quality of viewing experience, Miss Noraly deserves an Oscar for this entire production. There isn't a boring 'episode in the bunch and I have so looked forward for each new upload. When this adventure concludes I hope she doesn't 'call it a day' and instead begins planning the next adventure.
Disagree with you,Oscars are phony awards for phony people,phony boring people,they couldn’t hold a candle to this young lady and her creative mind.
Her award is her legion of followers,no trophy case in her house.
I concur....Noraly is on a roll. She's at the top of her game. She deserves a You Tube award....I'll google that and see if we can vote and help.
You Tube Gives her an award for milestones. (She has a 100,000 and one million subscriber award plaque,probably), but it looks like the "Webby People's Voice" award, is the top one we can all vote on for best internet content. (I'm pretty sure Kara and Nate got one)(?) Somebody else jump in on this, I'm not sure...too old to be on top of anything internet. But yes; they do give awards...we should do this.
Cats, dogs, horses, llamas, everyone likes Noraly and the trips she takes us on!:)
Even the Alaskan mosquitoes love her. 😆
@@wolfgangkranek376 😂😂😂🦟🦟🦟
What a lovely cat there that you show near the end! It's great to be out and about and meet such wonderful animals and people.
We knew you were an exceptionally nice person/ human being! But the kitty confirmed it too! The kitty immediately fell in love with you or possibly felt you needed some love! Anyways one very nice video on your adventure that we all get to see! So thankyou so much!
I've been following for the past year but rarely comment. Now I can say with certainty that Noraly is a creator that films from the heart showing her love and appreciation of this wonderful planet and its beautiful people, flora and wildlife. She takes us where few venture to travel and shares her geological understanding of this wonderous earth! Blessings for your continued travels Noraly.
I'd never seen Alaska covered by flowers before, just like a giant garden. So beautiful! Thanks for showing us all those amazing landscapes and cultures.
Those fireweeds are gorgeous!
Some of those "flowers" were Eskimo Celery(cow parsnip) and Devil's Club. Technically both are edible but only in the same sense that Puffer fish is also edible. The Eskimo Celery can cause some nasty skin irritation and the Devil's Club has thorns that can burrow through the thickest of coats.
Yes, many lupines flower in the summer months. Those are the purple flowers one sees along the road.
Firewood are nature's way of forecasting the first snowfall.
Legend goes (and it's actually surprisingly accurate) that when the last flowers get to the top of the stalk, there is about 6 weeks until the first snow fall.
As a fellow lover of mountains this journey from Argentina to Alaska has been incredible. Having watched all your vlogs as soon as they drop, I feel like I have been riding right there with you. So many 'WOW' scenery moments. Welcome to Alaska indeed!. 🇨🇦
🇮🇪
I agree with you 100%.
I think that after you reach Prudhoe Bay you should return to that tiny cottage in the greenhouse, hang out with the cat, and work on your novel. What a great setup!
I am addicted to your adventures. Forget all the misery in the world for a while and see how beautiful the world and people can be. You make the world and its people more beautiful, more adventurous and more loving. Thanks a lot for sharing your adventures and passion.😺❤👍🍀
Once again! It is indeed hard to figure out what to look at. Beautiful, gorgeous, awesome…what can you say…Alaska is a sight to behold. Thanks so much for the history and sharing the cool little accommodation and of course…the kitty!
HOW??!! You just continue to outdo yourself with each new video, Noraly! The scenery starting @ 6:40 and esp the drone footage starting @ 7:19 was just fantastic - among my favorite of this entire season and your choice of music to score the footage was perfection! THANK YOU for bringing so much joy and sharing so much beauty with so many around the world. I wish you happiness, continued safe travels, and friendship wherever your journey takes you.
The BEST channel in ALL of U-Tube! Noraly takes us where no one has before. Yes, others have been there, but only NORALY and her fantastic travels, professional video's/editing and Goosebumps Drone footage take us WITH here. If only MORE of the World would watch her channel, the World would be that much better for it. Thanks from an Old Marine Corps Vet.
That greenhouse and cottage is a perfect thing for long winters. It's own environment away from the wind and snow.
how many just hit likes before even finished the episode? You don't even have to wait to know this is going to be another great one! and I am officially in love with Alaska
What my wife and I truly enjoy is not only the fantastic possibility of accompanying you on your travels but also to note the absolute positiveness that you display all the time. No matter what, you will be laughing about it. We just hope that you will add other travel vlogs after this one.......
I love hearing the excitement in your voice over being in Alaska! I'm so glad you made it!
It makes me sad knowing that, I might not be able to explore as much as i would have liked in my lifetime. It also gives me a sense of complete pleasure that I get to experience the journey through the eyes of Noraly. Hats off to this incredible journey and I hope this would only bring us more joy in coming days 😍😍👏👏
I think another angel appeared -- (the cat)! It looks like petting the cat has done some good animal therapy for Noraly. 😉
I have never commented, but have watched all of your Americas and South African journeys. And I have never driven a motorcycle, but want to thank you so much for taking me along as a passenger to see all the beauty in the world. You are an amazing woman.
It is great to see, that your journey is so much more, than just to reach an endpoint. This way we see places, that no one else leave time to explore and show to us who will never have a chance to visit.
That was magical. The music, drone video, flowers, mountains and a sweet cat. Thank you Noraly
Is there anything more relaxing and calming than sitting in a greenhouse, looking at the beautiful scenery, and petting a friendly cat! Noraly, only you could encounter such a great hidden paradise.
Nice place to stay, so relaxing and the Kitty is so friendly. A small therapy break for long journey. 😂
Noraly, I have to admit that you and your new friend are absolutely adorable and in such a cute place to stay. That is the life.
Always thumbs up for Noraly; today extra for kitty:)
Well it's confirmed. Not only are you a first class biker but by the kitty's reaction an absolute gem of a human being. Thank you for this fascinating glimpse of rarely observed places.
Seems like we got the same scam message
@@paulipuhakka8788 did they ask 300$? For delivery cost?
Report it
For sure, you beat me to it LOL animals know.....
@@alexanderi7332 I like to first reply with Beavis and Butthead quotes before reporting and muting. Let's waste these scambags' time.
Wauw Alaska is amazing! Every video is spectacular! I learn so much from all the information.
Thank you Noraly! What an great journey ❣️♥️
Cool cats, staying at the green house. The places you find never ceases to amaze me.
Alaska is beautiful and the kitty moment in the greenhouse priceless!
This is my favorite episode yet, with magnificent scenery, interesting facts, the best cottage ever, and a very friendly cat.
Wahhhh the aerial views of the mountains and forest looks simply unreal!! The clouds further makes it look like in a fairytale!! Great work!!😍😍👍🏽👍🏽
A tip from a 76 year old motorcycle rider. I have been riding sense 1962. Always carry Blue and red Loctite. It is a thread locker that you put on nuts and bolts. Use blue for a light duty job like that merroir and Red for a very strong lock that you may have to use a impact wrench to get loose. As a temporary fix like that merroir, take a Coke can and cut a piece that will go 1/2 around the shaft of the threads on the merroir. Place it in the hole and screw in the merroir shaft. The Loctite comes in various sizes all you need is the smallest size. That 300 your riding is a great small bike, but does vibrate as do all single cylinder bikes.
That lovely scene at the end with the cat made me think we were looking about 45 years into the future. Beautiful.
I lived there for 35 years but had to move away. You are making me so so homesick, Noraly! There is no place else like Alaska anywhere on earth.
Two beauties in the last shot. The ending of this video had a great feel. Fine piece of filmmaking. Well done. Thanks.
Being a cat person, this was a good way to end another spectacular episode. Thank you Noraly 👍👍
My Norwegian Forest cat is my best friend .
Agree.
So when the adventure 😏 ends the cat 🐈 ranch begins
yes
Lovely to see you relaxed with the cat Noraly...cat therapy!
Someone else has probably told you this, but those 'beautiful flowers' you frequently make note of, appear to be what is commonly called 'Fireweed'. In the interior it is a general indicator of the season. It flowers in late Spring/early summer. As the season progresses the the blossoms start to dry up starting from the bottom and over time progresses towards the tip. Once the tip has gone to seed that's a general indication that summer is over and Fall has begun. Enjoy our state..there is soooo much to see. Cheers!
An adventurist, fantastic scenery and a courageous person, never knowing what is round the next corner.
I have great respect for any individual who takes on such an enormous challenge, alone.
Many thanks for many really interesting videos.

Kitty says *sniff*sniff*..
🙀 "oh the places you've been!!!" ❤️🐾🐾
You went right by my place, about 110 km north of Homer. I'm happy that you seemed to enjoy our little slice of heaven on the Kenai Peninsula. The flowers you were admiring are called fireweed. They transform the landscape from July until September.
Dave, is the landscape always that green? Even the peaks green!! Or is it exceptional??
@@piamanzoni8457 Yes , when not covered in snow.
@@piamanzoni8457 The spruce trees stay green year round, so the mountains are dark green up to the tree line. Of course the higher mountains are white, being covered with snow ten to twelve months of the year. From May through early September, the lower landscapes are incredibly lush and colorful with wild grasses and flowers due to the long hours of daylight.
Totally loved the ethereal vistas, the fabulous cottage in the greenhouse and the friendly cat. You looked so relaxed and contented, Noraly, and Alaska purrs along the inviting dirt roads like a new machine. Great history lesson too. Fantastic episode.
That is a cool place to stay. Imagine how nice it would be while snow is falling. And a kitty to welcome you!
I am currently 138 episodes behind, in season 6. Will catch up all the videos soon ❤
You and me both!
Enjoy the ride!
Well worth it.
That beautiful scene in the end was absolutely priceless with Noraly sitting in her greenhouse on a winged back chair stroking a beautiful kitty on her lap. Always a thumbs up for Noraly and an extra one for kitty😻👍
I am pretty convinced that your calm soothing voice could stop wars. The information and knowledge stored in you is remarkable. Your videos are just amazing in beauty and adventure. When you narrate at the end, I just want to hug you. Be safe. Till next time..
The green house cottage is really neat. With a cat as a friend. I have no idea how you find these places but you nail it every time.
I visited Alaska 20 years ago, honestly it was so hard to leave I actually started looking for a job. But alas, I returned to Chicago. Ugh. The Homer Spit in Alaska may be one of the most interesting places I’ve ever seen. I doubt little has changed. You do an amazing job of bringing your travels into our homes. ❤
Homer has a fairly large fleet of fishing boats in a neat harbor; and it is literally "Lands End". Also they do a lot of jams and jellies there (for sale), and of course, the famous Salty Dog Saloon. I believe Tom Bodett used to live there, keeping the "light on for us" (Motel 6 fame).
Practically everyone in AK has a firearm.
Chicago IL banned them.
For safe living, I'd pick AK over IL every day of the week.
@@garykaufman8128 the Salty Dog was a memorable place. Also if I’m not mistaken , the family from Alaska the Last Frontier are from that area.
You keep away from those Polar bears Noraly! Our Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays would be pretty boring without you!
Polar bears? Do they taste like beef or chicken? 😂
I imagine them queueing up to get her autograph.
Whenever you post, Noraly, I play the video and watch it on full screen, and I just can't stop smiling. Everything about your videos is captivating. Thanks you so much for doing what you do. Much appreciated as I think you know by now. Stay safe.
She makes it so you truly absorb it all. The best! Thanks for bringing us along.....
I love it that the kitty came to visit you and keep you company, I'm sure it's lonely sometimes. Heart felt. Take care Noraly!
Such a serene ending to this video. Pretty Noraly telling a purring cat that he/she is pretty, after another spectacular day in Alaska! It was great to hear the history of the purchase from Russia. 🥰
And I'm so glad Russia sold it to the States. Living in Canada we would not be too comfy if Russia still owned it. I agree with my sis...a beautiful end to a beautiful video.
Thanks Noraly ❤️
@@shirleybakker8602 why that. Russia is great country.
Your English is quite excellent. Few people understand "chuffed" even when they have studied English, but even though the Dutch are very good at English, that really surprised me when you said that. The lovely views you have today remind me of parts of Switzerland in the south near Lausanne and Montreux, but probably it is colder in Alaska.
You are now a long way from Utrecht. I remember well the restaurant Loetje in Utrecht. My favourite place to eat when I was there.
What you are doing is wonderful and opening the world to the majority of people who cannot travel for various reasons. These are all excellent videos. Thank you.
Spectacular, gorgeous, fantastic, inspiring and positively wonderful. I am running out of superlatives... What a great episode! Thank you again Noraly!
There are no adequate words to describe the beauty of the world. Thank you, Noraly, for making your lovely videos. Godspeed.
Thank you Noraly for taking us on your amazing journey, we see things most of us will never get to see or experience. Your beautiful personality shines through in everything you do and interactions will people along the way. Your videos are unmatched.
Continued safe travels.
YES THIS VIDEO IS MY FAVORITE SO FAR . THE cutest cottage for sure . THE Kitty's personality was so cute. You're fantastic Noraly 💚
Homer was one of my favorite places in Alaska when I did my motorcycle trip there. Being from UK, we are fond of Fish & Chips and I was amazed to find that halibut is used instead of cod. Halibut is incredibly expensive and difficult to find in UK, but is the most common fish in Homer. I visited that same Russian orthodox church and the whole area around there has lots of Russian place and street names. Listening to Noraly commenting on how well the bike rides on its new tires and repaired forks reminds me of the old car lot advertising slogan..."one lady owner".....just don't buy a used Honda from this particular lady - its been thrashed to within an inch of its life 🤣
Ha ! As a guy who's only ever owned old British kick start bikes, every time she shuts that thing off in the middle of nowhere,I'm thinking- solenoid, ignition,starter, the key circuit....all the junk that could go wrong....just let it idle ! I wonder how many times that bike has been started ?
@@bigcity2085 Same here. I live in Alaska and know how remote a lot of those places are. You can be there for hours before the next person comes through there. Im sure she has an InReach Explorer or something like that, but still...
@@bigcity2085same, will be a good test for that stater motor and Honda crf rally 300
Aside from being the consummate moto rider, Noraly has the personality to welcome people from all walks of life in the comfort of their homes. That's a rare ability. I mean how many people would love to experience life as Noraly shares with us?
@fudgepacker And?
@fudgepacker If anything, it's advocacy for the sport of motorcycling. It's naive to say "Her channel is an ad for motorcycles". If you've followed her, she has owned various brands of motorcycles. She's just one one of thousands of VLOGS related to motorcycles like the ten of thousands of VLOGS for touring/camping, cars, trailers, and RV vehicles. So, I (as well as otherd) don't understand what your inference might be.
I lived in Kenai for 31 years. I hope you got to visit there at the mouth of the Kenai River and travel to Nikiski. The Kenai Beach is one of my favorite places in the world. I wish I had known about you and your travels earlier. I have family in AK and a brother owns and runs a beautiful lodge in Nikiski. They would have welcomed you with opened arms. Thank you for sharing. You have to be one of the bravest women in the world traveling as you do. I have watched many, many of your stories lately. I loved your trip across Africa, the Middle East and onward home! Just wow!
Your luck with mirrors is certainly something to reflect on.
The video was great, but then you added a cat and it became AMAZING.
So beautiful, the mountains, the kitty, and you. Made me cry😢
Those landscapes reminded me of fjords of Norway. Truly spectacular! Alaska is so beautiful, more beautiful than I could ever imagine! Thank you Noraly for showing us these magnificient places!
Great video Norally! I really enjoyed it! The story about the first Russian people who lived there is so interesting! And the cottage inside that place surrounded by different trees is absolutely amazing! Keep exploring Alaska ! Looking forward to the next episode,!
The cat was more responsive than the fisherman, that's for sure 🙂 Another great episode. Thanks Noraly.
A dear friend of mine grew up in Kodiak so I have been sharing your Alaska videos with her. Now we want to plan a trip to Alaska 😊 Can’t wait to see some of these stunning views in person ❤ Thank you, Noraly
A thumbs up seems so small a thank you but you have mine. This adventure series is such gold for us viewers. Every video is action packed and so brilliantly produced. Gotta love that cat, it sure knows you are a friend!
Now we all know where the motivation for your destination lies! What an absolutely magical place. We are all so lucky to have this place on our planet, but for you to discover and share it. Thank you, Noraly! Your heart must be filled with the peace of this place. Well done!
Noraly you are getting better with each episode. The scenery, photography, narrative, natural personality, the whole package. You have found your calling.
Как всегда поставил лайк👍Спасибо Норали ,что показываешь нам всю эту красоту.
Where you were staying inside a greenhouse,,,the neatest place ever! Those two young fishermen you talked with,,,,if they only knew you as we all do,lol They were conversing with the one and only Itchy Boots!❤
when she said Netherlands 🇳🇱 it went over their head. hey, it was itchy boots u guys !!!!!!!
@18:20 " . . . doesn't feel like I'm in Alaska right now with this weather , the beach, the mountains , ( and no mosquitoes ! ) "
@20:04 Noraly , a road warrior and adventurer , manages to find some comfort and exchanges of affection with a furry feline friend. A sweet and touching ending on this episode .
Pretty crazy to see this particular episode, having been following through this journey with every episode of this and realizing that you rode past my house a few hundred meters from where you traveled in this episode. I had no idea that Noraly would be coming down the Kenai Peninsula, let alone ride out East End Road but I'm very glad to see that the Homer and Kachemak Bay that I see every day through my front window was included in your spectacular journey up from South America..As an interesting side note, those pinkish flowers you see everywhere are called "Fireweed" and we see them locally as an indicator of where we are chronologically in our summer season as the blossoms slowly peak that beautiful color as they climb the stalk June through August/September to eventually "top out" as the white tufted seeds let loose into the air everywhere and the leaves turn a vivid red as early winter arrives...Quite the adventure and very pleased to know that you got to briefly experience our little part of the world in this journey! On! On!
Omg you came to Homer!!! So happy you made it to my home🤩. I hope you loved it as much as I do. So sorry I didn’t run into you while you were here. I am more impressed than ever with your research as I learned some fun facts that I never knew even after 30 years in this beautiful place.❤️ The drone footage on crow creek rd… stunning. Thank you for so many hours of true enjoyment watching your channel.
I wish I had the independent nature and courage that Noraly has.
There are not many channels where I watch all episodes and the whole video as well; but this channel: yes!! Well done again. Prachtig!
The most beautiful polar bear park in the world and it comes with a very friendly cat. What a deal. Thank you Noraly !
You seem extra-happy and even more relaxed now that your adventure is winding dowm, having been an unqualified success.
Another great video by Noraly and a great ending with the kitty sitting on her lap and purring....so nice !!
Noraly: Congratulations on your drone-footage shots. Its a technique that can be poorly done by many very easily, but I think you have the right technique. Years from now you're going to look back on this and be as amazed as we are. Thanks. 🥀🏍🏅
I was born in alaska when it was a territory. lived my whole life here. One of the most magical trips for me was driving to Hatchers Pass where the independence gold mine exists. If you get a chance don't miss that adventure. It's just north of anchorage can be done easily in a a day. Alaska has too many magical places but that is one your bike can handle. Truly breathtaking. Immensely enjoy your videos! Stay safe and enjoy
I agree, hoping she manages to show us Hatcher Pass. I ride/drive it a couple times each year. It almost seems that someone has to have told her to make sure she rides there and visits Independence Mine. Although depending on when she was actually here, Independence had some issues with vandalism earlier this year and was closed for a bit. Thinking she was probably through here just after that.
I always look forward to seeing Itchy Boots on Monday . . . makes my Monday so much better
Mmmmmm...I love seeing how vegetation "chooses" to climb up mountains. The greenhouse place - wow! Complete with a fluffy, friendly cat. The music at the end perfectly echoed the soul-lift of the beautiful surroundings. Thank you for yet another exquisite ride through Alaska.
How perfect was THIS episode ending?
It doesn't get any better...
Well done!
Winged back chair and a cat in her lap... Noraly is now a bond villain.
I know Monday, Wednesday and Friday will not be the same without you . I hope there is a new adventure planned after a well deserved rest.
Hi! The whole background can be told for a very long time, but the main reasons why we sold Alaska are the unprofitability of fur and fishing, the huge distance from the metropolis, constant food problems, low defense capability in the event of a war with Britain, high resource intensity, which takes money and people, as well as the lack of geological data on Alaska oil and huge reserves of gold and other minerals. A great place, but in Russia itself, in its eastern part, there are much more similar places. So geographically everything is fine. But because of the gold, of course, it's a pity.
Thanks for the perspective.
Если бы не продали и удалось удержать, для населения это была бы такая же нищая дыра, как и весь дальний восток. Но вполне мог стать реальностью мост между континентами, кто знает
Russia sold Alaska to pay off their Crimean War debt.
Еще вы забыли, что вы так заебали алеутов воровством, уничтожением их охотничьих угодий , убийствами и насилием, ложью и несоблюдением договоров, что как только они смогли раздобыть ружья у американцев, то тут же стали русских отстреливать с такой скоростью, что только побег и постройка фортов могли спасти уродов. Только форты от русских и остались.
You also forgot that you fucked the Aleuts so much with theft, destruction of their hunting grounds, murders and violence, lies and non-compliance with agreements, that as soon as they were able to get guns from the Americans, they immediately began to shoot the Russians at such a speed that only escape and construction forts could save the freaks. Only the forts from the Russians remained.
