juneau
Juneau is a remarkable place. On Sunday, I hiked with a friend through the rain forest on Douglas Island, which lies across a narrow channel from the city, across a meadow, and up an increasingly treeless ridge to the top of a 3,500-foot mountain. We snowboarded and skied from the summit down about 2,500 feet into the woods, then hiked out again. We saw snowmachines on the mountain and a Jet-ski in the channel.
I'm a freelance reporter in Fairbanks, Alaska. I'm from upstate New York. This blog has had a few lives. I keep it now as a record and a place for reflection. And maybe a little soapbox-standing...
