Alaska Is...

                 Alaska is a name, a place, an experience; it is an infinite number of descriptions that might follow the word is.  To name, to list, to categorize, to make any attempt to give a static definition to the word would be an endless labor.  I find it to be much more beneficial to look at it as a blank slate, a word without any set meaning.  This way it can always grow, always change, always serve as a vivid reminder that there is always more to experience, more to know, and that the picture can only become bigger. 

Final Reflections

This trip has passed so quickly and has contained an experience that is vastly larger than the days that contain it. The greatest part of this or any other learning experience is not the resolving of questions, but the questions those resolutions ask.
