Atlantis Launch Successful!

I had the great privilege to observe the launch of the Atlantis Space Shuttle yesterday from Disney’s Contemporary Resort. I was looking over Bay Lake at Walt Disney World and was thrilled to see the launch.

Salmon Capital of the World! Ketchikan AK

I had the pleasure to again visit Ketchikan. A beautiful city on Revillagigedo Island, in southeast Alaska. Ketchikan is close to Misty Fjords National Monument, where day trips are meant to discover part of this largest wilderness in Alaska.

Serendipity: Change Results in New Adventures!

Located in the Tongass National Forest, Tracy Arm is a steep granite walled fjord with hemlock and spruce rainforest to about the 1500 foot line. There are many waterfalls from the ice fields as well as icebergs from the tidewater glaciers. Some of the icebergs are as large as a 3 story building! Often the waterway is clogged with ice.

Persistence & Pals: A Winning Combination in Rainforests & Life

We must let this administration know that we value this temperate Rain Forest and want to save this precious resource. We cannot replace this forest. It is the home to Bald Eagles, Moose, Elk, and more. This habitat once cut, leaves little for the wild life and often ruins the creeks that flow through them causing problems for the salmon trying to return home each fall. To stop this cutting of the temperate Rainforest with taxpayer dollars no less!, contact the White House and President Obama.

Glacier Bay: Whales & Eco-Tourists abound!

Keeping the focus on the environment, carefully protecting the area for current as well as future enjoyment means Glacier Bay National Park will be a living arena for flora and fauna!
