re: Where is your Mecca?

Mine is Aniakchak Caldera. Only 100 people or so make it there in a given year and I've been weathered out twice.

Serene, moody volcanic Caldera with a river flowing 30 miles to the sea.

I like that.

Why is it limited to so few people per year? Volcanic activity?

I hope you get there one of these years, rts.

Weather mainly. Rugged location. Bears.

You can hike in but it's better to fly in and raft out. To hike in, raft out is about a two week trip.

Aniakchak may be best-known for its consistent status as the country’s least-visited national park site, seeing fewer than 300 tourists in a typical year. It’s not only remote—accessible by a long journey of flying, boating, and/or backpacking—it’s also a rugged, difficult environment, with foggy, rainy weather and a high concentration of bears and wolves.

For those brave few who do venture down the Alaska Peninsula and into the monument, the area’s other best-known feature awaits—a jaw-dropping six-mile-wide, 2,000-foot-deep volcanic caldera. Within this deep, ashy crater is Surprise Lake, source of the Aniakchak River, as well as Vent Mountain, a 2,200-foot-tall cone formed by a volcanic eruption in 1931.,

I need my connection w nature a little more often, weekly or at least every couple of weeks. There's a cornfield at the end of some muddy trails behind my house...i need to be out there looking up at a star-filled sky, no other sign of mankind around, cocktail in my hand and my woman by my side. All I need.

Just smoke DMT, baw
