Subject: RE: BS: Waaaaay UP! To Alaska....
Yeah. And I'm going to Juneau, Sitka, Ketchikan, Skagway, Whitehorse and other places at the end of July/first half of August. And I told Ebbie that.
I've been to Destruction Bay, Beaver Creek, Border City, Tok, Glenallen, Haines, Skagway, Wrangel, Denali, Seward, Kodiak and even the Kluane Wilderness area.
Shall I tell of my adventures? Of the temperatures in Fairbanks? Of the icepack on the way (by ship) to Valdez? Of traveling the White Pass Trail? Of frostbitten fingers and of the dogs 'round in a ring, snapping the chunks of frozen salmon out of the air as we tossed them? Of the moose, the brown bears, the salmon, the mountain goats, the musk oxen? Of the earthquake and of surviving the "sudden landing" of the small bush plane? Of the summit of Denali, with the snow encircling it like a coronet of diamonds the brow of a fair one?
