The Spell of the North

Who can tell me the state capitol of Alaska? If you answered Juneau, then you also have just answered the question of what our big destination for the summer is. Originally our plan was to go no further than Prince Rupert, then hang a left and head for Haida Gwaii and more southerly latitudes. But the spell of the North has been cast, Alaska is beckoning and it is useless for us to resist. We agonized over this decision for days, but we are mountain people at heart and making a detour to Alaska just feels right. We've done some jaunts to Alaska and Yukon, and we figured we'd always go back, just like that poem by Robert Service, The Spell of the Yukon.
Currently the plan would be to winter over in Juneau and try to work. There is a ski area close by, and better yet, glaciers! So after some major mental rearrangements we are completely excited to try to give this plan a go. Stay tuned!
