Alaska-The Great One


Denali is not a river in Egypt. It's an ocean of mountains in Alaska.
 Headed there in a few days 
I go to Alaska  to be soothed and healed, and to have my senses put in order. I spent last Summer there and am glad to return. It is very difficult to generalize. Everyone's adventure is original. Yet the clearest way into the Universe is through a  Pacific NorthWest and Alaska forest wilderness.  The wildlife, rugged  and awe-inspiring natural wonders I missed last time because of  ( land)work in Ketchikan, are actually on my  cruise itinerary---Juneau, Skagway,  and Glacier Bay.






When you visit  America  you get a ticket to the freak show. When you visit Alaska, you get a front row seat.


"Alaska is a nice place, but it can kill you if you're not careful" was the first words I heard from a  Salmon-Halibut -fishing Boat Captain, when I docked in Ketchikan. 


"One of the most deadliest places to work that's for sure, Alaska is" Yoda ---Just channel surf through reality TV's-Alaska State Troopers, Flying Wild Alaska, Gold Rush Alaska, Ice Road Truckers, Alaska Wild Men (Mini-Series),The Toughest Race on Earth: Iditarod and my personal favorite, Deadliest Catch. These-Gold minin':,Gun totin', Bar fightin', Bear fearin', Beard sportin' and Brain dead characters  are the real wildlife because they have such a wild life!
