Alaska Is:
        
Awesome
Learning
Appreciation
Sharing
Kindness
Attitude

Inspirational
Spacious

The above just barely touches the way I feel about Alaska.

Final Reflection:
        When I think about he last three weeks, I think about the beauty of Alaska, The mountains, rivers, and oceans, I could go on and on about the scenery of Alaska. But everyone needs to experience that for themselves.
      I like to reflect on my many friends I visit while I’m here. I refer to them as my Alaska family. Every stop we make we have a member of our Alaska family is there to greet us. It sure makes you feel at home.
      The other reason is the 79 participants that make up this incredible adventure. I get to watch the eighth greaders grow in such a short time, junior leaders make a big step toward their leadership skills and adult leaders that make everything special.
      I get the pleasure of driving six young adults through the mountains of Alaska. What a great group of individuals. What an adventure; thanks, Dale, for taking me along.
