Alaska Is...

       Alaska is a drama queen that doesn't sleep. Her mountains ceaselessly demand attention with striking peaks and glowing glaciers. The oceans are amass with artists, painting pictures with grace and symbiosis that we all would learn from. I hope to come back again and again.

Final Reflections

         I decided to come on this trip on a whim. I’m not sure that I had any idea what I was getting myself into. Ten years removed from a growing project is a lot, but the lure of Alaska was strong and the challenge of working with young people, exciting.
         This trip left a lasting impression on me. Many experiences from my maiden trip are regular weekend jaunts for me now. Alaska is a wondrous place to have new experiences and learn, but an even better place to grow as a person. Traveling into unknown territory with 70 people creates a number of challenges waiting to be overcome. It was a pleasure watching the changes in people over the last few weeks. Hardships were overcome and comfort zones expanded, myself included.
