Crispy Alaskan Capers 
Gram-Pa’s Cool Arctic Adventures

Many readers are thrilled to immerse themselves in the tales of years gone by, concerning deeds they wished they could have done, but never did. When living in frigid Alaska, we submerged ourselves in almost any adventure that presented itself. The wild Arctic Alaska with its colder temps, thicker and more prevalent ice-fog, considerably larger moose, huge schools of lively salmon and seemingly unending miles of spacious tundra elicits a symphony of crisp adventures, unparalleled in any other state. They were presented to us on a platter. We didnt shy away. We attempted them with a near voracious appetite and claimed our fill. In fact, we went back for more; with gusto.

Circa l’autore

Having grown up in the country-side of rural New York State, the author was very familiar with the typical snow and ice that is prevalent most every winter. Little wonder then that the giant state of Alaska, with its often 6 to 7 months of freezing temperatures was a natural drawing card and was practically begging him to come to the cool climate country. To attend the University of Alaska in Fairbanks was the excuse used to travel there. To revel in the Land of the Midnight Sun was the real reason. Undaunted adventures were pulling him to the ‘north-land’ . He willingly followed, like a puppet on a string and never once regretted it.
