Alaska Lazy Mountain (Luis)
Lazy Mountain Ravens Heading Home To Roost
Ravens heading home in the evening on Lazy Mt outside Palmer Alaska. They return from their scavenging thoughout the valley every night to roost somewhere up on Lazy Mountain. Here they found some rising air near the park at the top of Huntley Road and were easily gaining altitude before sailing off to their roost.
Lazy Mountain GoPro Time-lapse: Anything but Lazy
The hike up Lazy Mountain is 2.5 miles long from trailhead to summit gaining 3055 feet in elevation along the way. On the descent I took the new Lazy Moose trail that probably makes the return distance closer to 3 miles as there are plentiful switchbacks. There is a 150,000+ acre forest fire burning 100 miles to the south on the Kenai Peninsula so that is why the valley is full of smoke.
I used a chest mount and the 10 second time-lapse setting on the GoPro to get the shots. It might have ended up better if I used 5 seconds or less even to get more photos to make it more continuous. I'm still learning.

AKGH - PALMER, ALASKA 1935-1936 8mm Film Clips
Sorry, no original sound
The community of Palmer had been established in 1916 as a stop on the Alaska Railroad's branch line to the Chickaloon coal mines.
The Matanuska Colony (Palmer) was part of Roosevelt's New Deal, his plan to help Americans recover from the Depression.
Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan were chosen to be part of the project because it was felt they most closely resembled the climate in Alaska.
When Palmer was chosen as the base of operations for FERA's project, the community grew quickly. The tent city erected for the colonists and government officials changed configuration rapidly as colonists moved to their tracts, offices were built for the officials, and other services and facilities were constructed. Among the buildings constructed at this time, the Central School, Alaska Railroad Depot, and the Lutheran and United Protestant churches still stand.
The first of the Minnesota contingent arrived at Palmer on May 10, 1935. On May 23, 1935, the drawing was made for the colonists' tracts of 40 acres each.

Wolverine peak in Anchorage Alaska 720p - Crash at the end
I did some flying close to Wolverine Peak, then a Vortex Ring State (VRS), takes it down. Must of been a terrain induced down draft that got it started. Extremely lucky where it crashed. A small patch of grass on the ridge. VRS hits at around 4:20, and goes down shortly thereafter. The last minute of the video, the quadcopter is waiting for me to retrieve it.
This is the raw footage at 720p after it has been run through Handbrake. Original 1080p video is available.

[edit] History
Palmer began in 1916 as a railway station on the Matanuska branch of the Alaska Railroad. In 1935, during the Great Depression, the Federal Emergency Relief Administration, one of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal projects, established the Matanuska Colony. From Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota, 203 families traveled by train and ship to reach the fledgling colony, arriving in the summer of 1935. Upon their arrival they were housed in a tent city during their first Alaskan summer. Each family drew lots for 40 acre tracts and their farming adventure began in earnest. The failure rate was high, but many of their descendants still live in the area and there are sill many operating farms in the Palmer area, including Vanderwheele and Wolverine farms. While the colonists had varying degrees of success with farming, Palmer is the only Alaskan Community that developed from an agricultural lifestyle.
In addition to an agrarian heritage, the colony families brought with them small town values, institutional structures, and a well planned city center. Many of the structures built are now in a nationally recognized historic district. Construction of the statewide road system and the rapid development of Anchorage has fueled growth around Palmer. Many Palmer residents commute to work in Anchorage.
[edit] Points of Interest
Palmer is most noted in Alaska as the location of the annual Alaska State Fair, where Palmer's agricultural spirit lives on. The Alaska State Fair holds contests for largest vegetable in several categories, and many national and even world records have been recorded at the fair, with the cabbage and lettuce categories usually dominating the local interest.
Palmer hosts an historic log cabin Visitor Center in the heart of downtown that entertains more than 35,000 visitors each year. The visitor center has a two acre showcase garden and lawn that is the perfect place to have a picnic. The Palmer Museum of History and Art is located in the Visitor Center and offers visitors chance to view artifacts from Palmer's history and learn about how the town came to be.
A couple of blocks away from the visitor center is the United Protestant Church. It was built in 1936-37 and is one of the historically registered original colonial buildings in Palmer. There are also several bookstores, including Alaskana Books which carries a collection of rare and collectible Alaskana books, and Fireside Books a quirky little independent bookstore, known for its good books and ugly coffee.
Alaska Raceway Park is a nearby dragstrip.
