Discovering Alaska

After the earthquake our business improved and somewhere between school and work, we discovered something wonderful ... Alaska. I remember a plethora of family trips to the oceans, lakes and forests of Alaska. By the time I was old enough to drive, I had acquired a passion for it. Every summer was dedicated to traversing the Alaskan outback. I was aided in this endeavor by a handful of quirky friends who could only be described as Alaskans. During those long summers, we witnessed nature in all its pageantry. Reflecting on those times always brings a smile to my face.
