Alaska Is...

                  Alaska is…a place that has places.  Places where you can go and it cheers you up.  Places that will want to make you cry because of its beauty.  Places that can never be the same on a postcard.  You have to be there to experience it for real.  Sure, it is cold, but will that stop you form seeing the true Alaska?  If I could live here all the time, I definitely would.  Alaska has mountains, beautiful landscape, that nature smell, and everything you could EVER imagine.  All of the describable words could never explain one little word…ALASKA!    

Final Reflections

            I really don’t even know where to start.  I have so many memories that I loved and so many things that I hated.  I’m going to miss everyone on this trip.  I’m also going to miss my tent, tent time, van drives, all the van drivers, some junior leaders, camping, and most definitely being one big, happy family.  I’ve done so many things that are unimaginable.  I’ve climbed mountains, met new people, saw whales for the first time, got tight with my van, got tight with my tent, tried halibut, went 6 days without plumbing, wore the same jeans so many times in a row, went without a shower for 5 days, did laundry twice in 3 weeks, and even went to the bathroom in the Alaskan woods!  Memories like these aren’t ones that you can forget.  Alaska is the place where you can get those memories.  I have never had so much fun in 3 weeks.
