Never make your home in a place. Make a home for yourself inside your own head. You'll find what you need to furnish it - memory, friends you can trust, love of learning, and other such things. That way it will go with you wherever you journey.
Tad Williams

In loving memory of Madeleine and Robert Richardson. I am grateful for the time that we had, and I miss you both. You will be with me where ever the road may lead.

Alaska!

Got an hour and finally a decent wifi connection in the gravel parking lot behind a Waffle Company restaurant. Thx for the free wifi guys... Just a quick post to say I'm doing well. Phone service is VERY spotty, and internet even more so. in short I'd like to give you my impression of Alaska so far:
I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax
their lives with forethought of grief...
For a time I rest in the grace of the world and I am free.
-Wendell Berry
WONDERFUL ferry ride so far. Have seen seals, bald eagles, orcas and a few other types of whales (although I have yet to get a good pic. seems they don't go breaching the water at full speed very often). Skagway tonight (pop. less than 1,000) then B-line to Whitehorse where I hope to recover for the weekend
will post pics when I have better int connection.
