North to Alaska


 
BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest Finalist   North to Alaska
North to Alaska
A dream for many who want to experience what we in Alaska, already know. Some come to get rich from the gold or oil but many come to enjoy the rich beauty that Alaska has to offer. It may be the 49th but it is number 1 in my book! There is no place like home.

  Joannie,

Great to hear from you and thanks for your comments. Actually, it is a little out of focus due to my DOF, but if you follow SR 3 down from the letter "S" you will see "Ferry" and then below that, "Healy". I live in Healy, Alaska which is just north of Denali National Park. Central, or as I like to refer to it, downtown Alaska.

  Thanks Marcie! Yea, I wanted to do something colorful that had some personal meaning to me. I found my old compass and then this map was just laying nearby and the rest is history! Have an awesome weekend!
