So you are headed to Alaska!

I can promise that if all goes well you will have a life-changing experience.

My Beginnings

My first trip to Alaska resulted from a college buddy looking me in the eye and saying, “I’m supposed to go to Alaska this summer and I think you are supposed to go with me.” I chuckled. But I couldn’t say no.

A few months later, He, I and a third musketeer loaded up in an old Ford Bronco with over 200,000 miles and took off for the “Last Frontier.” After a couple of breakdowns, a flat tire and over 9,700 miles, I arrived back home a different man. I was so radically blown away by our drive to and stay in Alaska that I committed to try to help as many people as I could see Alaska as long as I was able.

And Here I Am!

I sit here at my computer typing this welcome page after 7 trips over the course of 20 years spanning about 14 weeks in Alaska. I am thrilled that I get to share some of my experiences. My job on this site is to help turn your Alaska vacation into an Epic Adventure. I will work hard to do just that.

In a book I wrote a few years back about my experiences, I said…

I still believe that today.

I look forward to you living your own Alaskan adventures, whether you are an extreme risk taker or would prefer to spend your time in Alaska peering out the window of the Alaska Railroad or off the bow of an Alaskan cruise ship. I hope you will come back different.

When I return from each of my Alaska trips, I always feel renewed, as if I have a bigger vision of life. This quote from my book best captures what Alaska has opened up for me.
