Alaska is one of my favorite places. I have probably said that before. I have so enjoyed all of the pictures you have posted.
Beautiful photos of an amazing place.I've been to Alaska twice but only on cruises. How I would
love to spend "real" time there.

Thank you Lisa and Dawn! I'm back to Columbus tonight, and will really miss this place :-(

inmelReally enjoyed these posts. We did much of that route in June 2001 and loved it--flora, fauna and scenery were amazing. The whole daylength thing and its profound impact on all life in the area added another dimension that I hadn't really anticipated. Plus the Alaskans that we met were really interesting people.
Thanks for sharing your Alaska experience. Makes me want to go back there soon.
