Phew, Alaska...I was worried they were talking about Driskill Mountain in N. Lousiana.

And don't forget "Monkey Hill" in Audubon Park. One of the highest land points in the N.O. area.....

Seriously Clark??? Well, just in case you really don't know.

Guess what, it had a name before Denali

Archaeological evidence suggests that Paleo-Arctic and Paleo-Indian groups may have lived in the region more than 10,000 years ago, possibly descending from the first humans who crossed the Bering Land Bridge from Siberia. These early hunter-gatherers likely followed large Ice Age mammals like mammoths and bison.

While there are no specific names for pre-Athabaskan cultures in the Denali region, the broader Arctic and subarctic areas were home to various early indigenous groups who left behind tools, artifacts, and evidence of seasonal camps. Some of these cultures include:

Nenana Complex (circa 11,000–8,000 BCE) – One of the earliest known human occupations in Alaska, characterized by stone tools found in sites like the Dry Creek Archaeological Site.
Denali Complex (circa 10,700–7,000 BCE) – A later group known for microblade technology, which suggests they were skilled hunters.
These prehistoric cultures eventually gave rise to the Athabaskan-speaking peoples, including the Koyukon Athabaskans, who thrived in the Denali region for millennia.

Something about Talkeetna and that area feels magical.

Yeah, its a great little town. I could sit on the river there for hours.

So they’re able to predict it within weeks but this hasn’t been a national news headline until now?(it it even now?)

Talkeetna, the tiny town that inspired Northern Exposure, is about 100 miles northeast of there. I've been there because I used to go out with a girl who had family in Wasilla, which is just North of Anchorage.

---

I had family in Wasilla when I graduated college and I went to stay with them for a week.
They took me up to Talkeetna and I explored the area some and ended up flying in a tiny arse plane up to Denali base camp to pick up a hiker. It was amazing.

Them late that evening I grabbed some drinks and walked to the edge of town where the two rivers meet and got a buzz while staring at the whitewater with Denali in the back ground.

and to hell with what the native people have called it for centuries.

And they native peoples who conquered it from the people that were there before them...you think they kept all the names that the conquered people had?

And the ones Before that? And the ones before that?

Uhh, the gold miner didn't conquer anyone. He just decided to rename an already named mountain to one he liked as if nobody had already seen and had a name for it. Kind of pretentious on his part.

To the victors get the spoils

Naming shite & otherwise

Dill with it dill weed
