Alaska 1998
Home

In May of 1998, I took a camping and fishing trip to Alaska. I flew to Anchorage and then rented a car for two weeks and drove all over Central Alaska. I went as far north as the Arctic Circle and as far south as Homer on the Kenai Peninsula. I camped in the shadows of Mt McKinley in Denali National Park and fished off of the Homer Spit and everywhere in between. Here are just some of the sights I saw and places I went. It was a great trip. I would do it again in a flash.
