Description
Instead of jogging for exercise, some days I climb Flattop, a 3500 ft peak overlooking Anchorage, Alaska. A few nights ago I hiked up there and found myself drawn to this muted, hazy view of Pt. Possession, across Turnagain Arm.
Pt. Possession is so named because this is where Captain Cook went ashore to claim Alaska for Great Britain. The claim didn't stick, but the name did. Cook Inlet is named after the famous explorer.
