Alaskan Adventure

I often speak of adventure.  I read the stories of Scott and Shackleton and I imagine my travels to be a distant homage to those great explorers.  I dream of discovery, and I become frustrated with realizations of how little there is left for someone like me to uncover, but this trip was different.  A true adventure like nothing I had done before, complete with danger and uncertainty… and there was discovery.  Not of new species or uncharted lands, but of something closer and more personal.  It was challenging and rewarding, and it left me wanting more.
