Alaskan Odysseys (eBook, ePUB)

11 'Trips of a Lifetime' into the Alaskan Wilderness

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Alaskan Odysseys chronicles 11 different journeys into 11 different parts of Alaska, all of them remote areas that require significant effort (logistics) to access. Much work went into the planning for these trips, because they involve much by way of preparation, transportation in and out, and all the gear necessary to be self-contained for up to two weeks in a land that will make you pay for any mistakes. This is much more than a 'how-to' collection of chapters, there are the daily events to relate, daily events that might include a hair-raising descent through a series of rapids, or a sighting of brother griz on the prowl, or observations about the uniquely Alaskan geography we find ourselves in. These 11 trips of a lifetime were some of the most challenging times of my life, and brought out the best in each of us, providing me, at least, with stories for a lifetime. This book will appeal to anyone with an interest in the Alaskan wilderness.

Autorenporträt

Joseph Ebertz is a life-long traveler; in his 20's and 30's he traveled widely, from lengthy trips to the South Pacific, including Fiji, New Zealand and Australia, to many trips in Central and South America later on in those years, into his 40's. Alaska beckoned to him in his 50's, and, apparently, still hasn't finished with him, now in his 60's. A suitable work history is needed to support this travel, and a lifetime of work in seasonal construction occupations, including owning his own Landscape Design/Build business since the mid-90's has provided that support. A spirit of adventure, which includes a burning desire to know and experience other places is also essential to the mix. This is Ebertz'fourth self-published book, and the one that provided him with the most enjoyment.
