A couple of Sundays ago, the stars aligned for some good friends and I to jet over to Halibut Cove and hike into Grewingk Glacier  Lake with our paddlebaords. This had been on my bucketlist all summer, but on all previous trips to the glacier, my back had been occupied...

Last month, two friends and I had the opportunity to swim across Kachemak Bay for the second time. Having smoothed out a lot of the kinks out during our first trip across, this swim felt relaxed and oh-so peaceful. We met at the end of the Spit at 6:00 on a high tide s...

In Alaska this time of year, it's pretty hard to not be thinking about fishing... So as all my fisher friends and family prepare to throw that first buoy, here's a little fisher poem to get the season going. Have any fisher poems you'd like to share? Please message me...

Last week I had the opportunity to fly Lake Clark Pass with my neighbor and good friend Deb in her Cessna 172, affectionately known as T-Rex.

Deb is a MedLife helicopter pilot who works week on, week off in Soldota. She is also a very patient teacher, and she let me fl...
