Travel Writing

“Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array.” Genesis 2:1

I’ll always remember the day the plane descended into the remote wilderness of Fairbanks, Alaska. I knew this had to be one of the most incredible places we would ever live. The majestic, snowcapped mountain peaks with the rushing rivers were an awesome sight.

I gazed in awe at the stunning contrast of the snowcapped mountains against the blueness of the Gulf of Alaska. Our tour of duty was for only two and a half years; however, the memories of this adventure would last forever!

After unpacking and settling in base housing, we met many wonderful friends. They told us about all the different places to visit. We had a wonderful opportunity to see much of the native culture.

Watching moose and caribou scraping snow aside to find food in the early morning hours was always a moving sight. Big, brown bears with their cubs walking beside the road, hunting for food, made picture-taking fun. We usually had our camera so we would not miss anything.

And, of course, I can’t forget the Northern Lights, (aurora borealis), the luminous atmospheric phenomenon which resembles a magnificent rainbow splashed across the sky.

Making memories last forever.
