I'm back! Actually, we've been back for a few weeks; I've just been a lazy blogger. But hey, it's summer in Alaska. Here's one of my favorite pics from the high peaks up at the Noatak River headwaters. And here's the account I penned for the News-Miner. While we were up there, Anchorage-based writer Bill Sherwonit was on his own adventure. And my paddling partner Diana's brother Sam was having another not far away. If it sounds crowded, it's not. The land up there is amazing -- wild even by Alaska standards. I quit the News-Miner in July and am working as a freelancer. I've been writing for Petroleum News and a bit for the French news agency AFP and the new Alaska-focused online rag Alaska Dispatch. The goal is to have more time to write about energy and climate change. And, of course, more time to get outside . . .
