(Note:  This is a story Lia wrote on paper and Mom typed it for her): I got to go to the sled dog presentation today.  They said that I could pet them.  My favorite dog's name is Muddy.  She's beautiful!  All the dogs were pretty.  I liked the other dogs too, but Muddy was my favorite.  Then a man got on a sled and got pulled by some dogs.  Suddenly the sled flipped, but he got off just in time!  After the dog presentation, we went to the Visito...

A quick blog with pictures from recent hikes of Johnson Pass and Crow Pass. Johnson Pass is a 23 mile hike (one way) along the Seward Highway. Crow Pass is a 26 Mile (one way) hike from Girdwood to Eagle River, AK

A 3 month long adventure and working in the ED in Soldotna

Shortly after AZ me and 1 of the grand conyon buddies decided to go to seattle to get jobs on the fishing boats. Well we were hired by Icicle seafoods and i was later shipped to Dutch Harbor. Coldest place ive ever been so far.

I got to visit china for a conference and also to visit some nice schools and talk about my chemistry research.

A nice thing about Juneau is that people here dont give me a bad time about the rain in Seattle, they get 3x as much rain as we do! Beautiful place though.

Amazing salmon fishing trip, with whales and eagles along the way. Quaint town with nice shops, friendly people, pretty Russian church. Salmon spawning in a stream near the boat filled marina.

Have not traveled much yet but feellucky to live in Maui and plan to travel much more. Would welcome travel companions and open to swapping places.

During a visit to my "marmie" in AZ, my brother admitted he really didn't want to go to Rome for my graduation present. Being in the Barnes and Noble travel section at the time, looking for Italy books, I look down at Alaska! I tell him I really don't care where I go because everywhere sounds good, so I toss the Alaska idea at him.Who doesn't want to see ice and bears?!?!Well, he does! So, Alaska is my new destination. I'm excited. I really wanna see my mountain, Mt. McKinley, but that's a bi...

Recently I had another business trip...this time to Anchorage, AK.  I have to admit being a warm climate girl, I was a little anxious about going to Alaska especially the cold weather.  But it was really nice and beautiful.  The best part was I still had time to "site see" after my meetings because it doesn't get dark this time of the year!  Also, all the shops and restaurants are open late and you can walk around comfortably there.  I wish I'd had time to do somethin...

June 4th-8th, Captain Rob (yours truly), hosted another NW Backroads Show filming expedition aboard the Saltery C in SE Alaska, outside of Ketchikan. This trip was vastly different than the first show last Sept with the guys. The trip last week was the "GIRLS" showing off their fishing prowess and expeditionary adaptability! While we didn't get into the freshwater fishing (Salmon aren't in the rivers yet) like the previous show.....we DID however get to the outside waters where the action was...

Skagway is on old Gold Rush Town that today lives for the hoardes that arrive each day on cruise ships. The town is preserved as it was when built. It is also the start of the White Pass and Yukon RR. Just a tourist train but passing through beautiful country.
