A Drive Up Wolverine Road, A Palmer Alaska Secret March 26th, 2008

Categories: Alaskana

I took a drive up Wolverine Road this evening to put a sign on a new listing. Wolverine Road is one of Palmer’s secrets.

Wolverine Road starts out as Clark-Wolverine Road from the Old Glenn Highway about one mile east of Palmer. About 3 miles up the road, Clark and Wolverine separate, turn left to stay on Wolverine. I found that someone else liked Wolverine Road as well.

I saw three moose on the 8 mile drive, this young one was munching on Willows next to Wolverine Creek

Just a mile up the road were some of our strange Alaskan Cattle.

These shaggy beasts definitely look like they were made for an Alaskan winter.

Just across Wolverine Canyon is the giant carrot marking Wolverine Farms, home of the largest herd of Galloway Cattle in Alaska.

Someone who knows more than I do can tell us why every mountain peak has a puffy cloud above it. There were no other clouds in the sky.

All this was to put a sign at the very end of Wolverine Road. If you know anyone interested in a 69 acre parcel with about 20 acres in Hay and a 2200 square foot home let me know. It’s a rare find, there are trails galore from this location. You can leave right from your home straight into the Alaska Wilderness. Here is a google map to the location. Click on the satellite view to get a feel for this unusual opportunity.

Or you can call me for more info… 907 232–7900 is my cell number.

The reason for the puffy clouds over each mountain peak is simple.

As air currents hit the sides of the countains, they are forced upward. The temperature is lower, the higher the altitude; therefore the rising air is cooled. At a high enough temperature, the cooled air condenses into cloud.

Naturally, the peaks are the highest point. Obviously conditions were just right i.e. there was enough moisture in the air to condense and the altitude at each peak was high enough for the temperature to be low enough for the moisture to condense into cloud.

Hmmm. I thought that had something to do with the cololing of the air. Thanks for the explanation.
