Summer officially begins here with the solstice, and solstice is a big deal in regions where there is limited sunshine in the winter. Many places have solstice celebrations and such. Kenai Harley Davidson had a Show & Shine car and bike show which we attended. On the way home after the show we stopped at this little tourist trap not far from our house. We’ve been meaning to stop here and take pictures for like, you know, two years. Well, finally we did.
It is a chainsaw carving spot and during the tourist season you can stop and see them working on carvings. It is pretty cool to see a dude with a chainsaw doing his thing and making a piece of art out of a log.
The big draw and sign out front is this giant chair.
The Big Chair.
And then there are various carvings scattered around, photo-ops and all.
Totem
It’s mine and you can’t have it bear!
The ol’ moose
Bear in a cave with a bunch of cave dwelling nymphs. The one getting her arm eaten on is quite amusing.
Then there is an old mock mine and when I went inside I found this Lil Bit of a bear growling at me…

A bear bench full of nymphs.
Seeing the fall foliage starting to appear and realizing summer has disappeared… has me looking forward to snow!
Alaska on my mind...
