North to Alaska

North to Alaska

Uploaded: June 12, 2006

Description

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. #2897820
