Thunderbird falls gushes out of the Chugach Mountains, surging through the tiny channel carved in the mountain side.

Valdez lingers on the other side of Thompson pass, beside the Valdez port and backed by glacial slues and mountain peaks.
Clam Gulch
Get down on your hands and knees, dig for the razor claims that bury themselves into the wet sand when the tide is out.
Juneau Lake Cabin
At an elevation of 1,300 feet in the Chugach National Forest Juneau Lake Cabin is one of the first rustic cabins on the Resurrection Pass Trail.
McCarthy Road
You begin your adventure on the McCarthy Road by driving through the tunnel through the mountain.

The blue water of the lake stretches to the feet of the mountains here on the Kenai Peninsula.

We have been tricked. The weather seems to have snuggled closer to winter.
My Future Commercial Fishing in Bristol Bay
I have successfully secured my childhood dream job: a summer fishing in Bristol Bay, Alaska. Readers, you are probably cringing at the thought of having to touch the slime covered bodies of fish that have been caught in their immanent death. I can only think of the experience that I will have. Depending on the [...]
The Neatest Boots You Will Ever Find: Lobben’s
The coziest boots I have every owned have been ones that I have trudge through most everything in, wear almost every day. Whether dry or soaking wet, socks or no socks they have never failed to keep me warm. I have walked through the park, played in the snow for hours, hiked a glacier, and [...]
Little Bit About the Me: The “Control Freak”
by Jennifer Baker on January 11, 2013 in Backcountry Teen, Jen’s Blog, Kid's Blog with Leave a Comment
The common term for someone of my nature is “Control freak”. Someone who folds their underwear and must always be on time every place they go, detesting the slightest amount of chaos or group confusion. I suppose it’s because I am a creature of pure habit despising interruption. Yeah, I’m a little weird. I admit [...]
Sell My Information to a Third Party? What?
Since this is my senior year, for the last few months I have been filling out scholarships. The other day I was surfing the web for a few more to add to the done pile. I came across a great site that offered a few writing scholarships that I would apply for. But before I could even look at [...]

I watched the last of the afternoon rays slip from the horizon and sighed at their disappearance, leaving [...]
Backpacking without the Backache
by Jennifer Baker on August 6, 2012 in Adventure AK, Backcountry Teen, Jen’s Blog, Kid's Blog with Leave a Comment
The first time I went backpacking I packed all the wrong gear and way to much of it. I was the unhappiest camper alive. Using what I learned the second time wasn’t as bad, but the third was the best. Looking back I wish that there had been someone there to tell me exactly what I needed [...]
My life on the go

With unspoken words, every weekend is deemed to have some sort of crazy or perhaps even crazier adventure. Most of the time we don’t normally plan any more than1-2 days ahead; sometimes even only a few minutes ahead of time. Ha! Getting ready for an adventure is one of the hardest parts especially because over [...]
