To freeze an elephant fast enough for the meat inside not to spoil would have to be done in about 5 hours. It would have to be colder than -300f to do that, (according to Swanson frozen foods). It has never been that cold on earth, according to scentists, yet many mammoths have been found frozen, and the meat was quite edible.

Noah's flood answers every question about frozen Mammoths and dinosaur fossils, and the layered look of the depths of the earth.

Think.

Giant flood. Particles floating. Heaviest particles settle first.

Geothermal stuff happenin' everywhere all at once. Extreme temps that no one has suffered since because of the upheaval, etc...

 

Saw a VHS movie moons ago on the subject. Gooooood stuff.

 

Only I forget who put it out.

Alaska is a geographical marvel. When a scale map of Alaska is superimposed on a map of the 48 lower states, Alaska extends from coast to coast.

I didn't know that

are you sorry that u left Alaska

[John81]

I often wish I lived in Alaska.

[Rosie]

I'd like to visit not sure i'd want to live there

[Jim_Alaska]

I didn't know that

are you sorry that u left Alaska

 

No Rosie, I am not sorry I left, although I do miss it. I spent 37 years of my life there and Alaska was very good to me. But when you get old and can't or don't want to do the things you always did, especially in winter, it's time to move on.

 

It just makes no sense to suffer through seven months of winter to enjoy five months of decent weather. For instance, I am into gold mining now. I cna do that here all year, but in Alaska the season is short.

 

I used to be a trapper and also loved to go play on snowmOBiles and explore in winter. But that has taken its toll and I can't do those things any more.

 

If I could afford it I would "snowbird", Alaska in summer and go south for the winter.

You might be interested to know that I was living on the gulf coast of Florida when I decided to move to Alaska in 1973.

The mining here is not going too well. Both the environmentalists and Tribes want all mining shut down. They have hounded miners for ten years with frivolous lawsuits and back door deals with legislators to shut us down. We have not been able to suction dredge mine since 2009 due to their antics. We just won an important victory in the third appelate court of California that may just get us back to mining this coming year.
