Notes from Alaska: Running from Mosquitoes in the Last Frontier, and Other Stories

4/5 ( ratings)

Notes From Alaska is a story of discovery as travel writer Dan Szczesny searches the state for the true meaning of the Last Frontier. And given that Texas could easily fit inside Alaska, his search, as wide-ranging as it is, barely scratches the surface.
From Anchorage to Denali to Fairbanks to Valdez. From the Arctic Circle to Delta Junction. From glaciers to pipelines to the ferry through Prince Edward Sound. Szczesny and his wife bomb their way over dirt roads and broken highways, making their adventure up as they go.
In this series of essays, whether he's finding a hidden salmon-fishing spot, walking inside a glacier or watching eagles soar over Valdez Bay, Szczesny's Alaska is terrifying and beautiful, a land of equal parts danger and wonder.
If you want your travel tinged with a hint of off-road exploration, Notes From Alaska is the book for you. So, brush off the mosquitoes, boil up some dehydrated noodles and sit back and enjoy discovering an Alaska you never knew existed.
