Alaska's Roadtrip Pix
I'm over Montana (in the air) and having trouble uploading files. I'll try again tomorrow when I get back into Anchorage.
(edited) Get started with the eye candy below where all these hijackers crashed my thread! LOL Man, I got to tell you. We had a FABULOUS TIME. Gonna be doing this again when the money tree sheds its bills again. Alaska |
I'm in Metairie... Internet acting slow. Couldn't download the video on Tim Tebow. No great loss. Coverage on ESPN.com good on this subject. Will post on different tread.

The title is either "Over Montana" or "When I Get Back To Anchorage". Let me sleep on it and I'll get back to you. :mrgreen: |
No Problem do it when you can.

I'm in New Jersey.
Shhhhh. Snookie's out there somewhere. Don't ping me... She reacts to cellphone ringtones... |
The obligatory Jackson Square picture. How many of these do I have? One for every time I've been to the 'Quarter.

Time to get down to business. First order; Pat O'brien's for a Hurricane or three.
Some street sideshow. This guy was pretty cool. He stood like this for a LLLOONNGGG time. Or until you threw him a ten-spot. http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/j...r/IMG_0488.jpg http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/j...r/IMG_0486.jpg |
This guy had the coolest costume I've ever seen. I fell victim, and had the word 'tourist' tattoo'd to my forehead after paying the guy. But it was COOL.
But when in New Orleans, eat where the locals eat. This is Mandinas, on the 3600 block of Canal. Worth it for the REAL DEAL. Just a short trolly or bus ride. My Mom and I used to eat here often as a kid. http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/j...r/IMG_0490.jpg http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/j...r/IMG_0520.jpg |
Nice pics .... see you had a great time! Did you get a tan too?

Love the place. One of my regular hang outs. |
Met up with Budsdrinker (John) and we got some drink on. We are going to become great friends. Thanks for the great time, John!
The server is Joseph. He IS your man when at Pat O's. John has been seeing him for some therapy for 17 years. Amazing run, I'd say. Look for Joseph, he'll take care of you like you were family. Alaska http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/j.../photo-4-1.jpg |

The BUNKER BAR at the Dome. Man, that's the way to travel! |
Gave em Hell all night. Lost my voice. Lots of great eats and uncrowded, as concessions go.

Looking for breakfast on Broadway, early morning game day in TN. WHODAT!!!? |
LP Stadium from across the river. Guys and gals, this place is a WONDERFUL away game. Those guys have a great stadium and party place before and after is just a walk across the bridge.
Be there next time. I will. http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/j...r/IMG_0525.jpg |
Mandinas...love that place. Best turtle soup, trout almondine, soft shell crab almondine, onion rings, hamburger steak, oh yeah the po-boys don't suck either. They really know how to fry an oyster (and no, it ain't easy...just ask Mother's...biggest tourist trap in the city).
Good stuff Alaska!! |
How cool is tailgating with your brothers. This is Paul and John. The Jack Daniels tailgate was happening!

Here's how it all ended.
Got to meet The Deuce, Budsdrinker, and SkyMike on this trip. Thanks for stopping by the hotel, Deuce. We almost had a near-miss! Get together when you can, guys. It's good for the SOUL. I'll be doing alot of this in the years I have remaining. Thanks, BlackandGold.com!! http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/j...or/photo-4.jpg |
It looks like you had a hell of time - I am jelous
|
No better story told than one in pictures.
Glad you got to make the trip, maybe more so that you had such killer seats. Skymike, did you get a tan or is Alaska really white?? Thanks for sharing. |
thanks for sharing! really cool for you to put them on here.... jealous
|
Awesome Alaska ! just plain AWESOME ! Thanks for letting us take a peak.
|
Thanks for posting pictures AlaskaSaint! My buddy and I were in New Orleans for the Indy game and had a helluva time as well! Attending a Saints game is on my list of things to do each year!! Every fan should do it at least once....there's nothing better!

I think passing out was only wishful thinking at that point! We were still downtown at this GREAT sports bar called Buffalo's. They've got really comfy couches to watch the games from.

By the way, did they leave you firewood from the fallen tree? And was the damage minimal?
|
That big ol' spruce is laying the length of my driveway and I'll let it cure over the winter until I can get it cut into rounds in the spring. No real damage, though. Need a new grill. It blew off my porch and landed about 10 yards away. Upside down.
We've been getting massive winds and the snow that the trees are holding (spruce do that well) make them top heavy. I pulled into the driveway to 15 inches of fresh snow. The taxi cab got stuck so I had to pull him out with my truck to get my $30 back!!! He was pizzed! Miss me some South! But I'm going back down to central Miss'ippi on the 26th for two weeks of hunting! The wind blew money off the money tree. It was everywhere!! LOL Alaska |
