Half of my life is spent at 59 degrees North latitude on the shores of Alaska's Kachemak Bay. The other half is spent at 70 degrees North latitude on the Central Beaufort Sea Coast. Lots happens in between, too, in this land known as The Last Frontier.

The Addition


We finally broke down, planned an addition that suited our needs, and have begun construction. We are adding 1,000 square feet of space to our home. It will consist of 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a living room and stove / mudroom entry. The price of building has gone up considerably in Homer since we built our home 8 years ago, but we have a choice: move to a new location or add on. We made the right decision, and this will be a spectactular addendum to our current living situation.

Polar Bear

No matter where you think you are in the food chain, you're not where this sow is. Seeing polar bears in the wild is both exhilarating and scary. They are one of the ultimate predators, living in an unforgiving land.

Early Fall in Denali


 


Early fall in Denali can be the most beautiful season of all in the interior. We had clear sunny days, and clear crisp nights. Oh yah, and someone got eaten by a grizzly bear when we were there.
