I posted this a week or so ago on two other forums, and the constant question was "where" & "when", so this was my reply.

My experience was 53+ years ago in the Noatak River Valley, actually much of the early 70's in the upper Noatak and Ambler River Country.

Also, in the 70's I was proving-up on the homestead on the Upper Susitna River, near the confluence with Windy Creek. Also known as "Clearwater Country".

In the 80's I was mostly guiding in units 17 & 19 "The Mulchatna herd". While living on Lake Clark.

My original post is a collection of remembering's from the 70's 80's and early 90's

ALASKA is a "HARD COUNTRY for OLDMEN". (But if you live it wide'ass open, balls'to the wall, the pedal floored, full throttle, it is a delightful place, to finally just sit-back and savor those memories while sipping Tequila).
