You Are Here: What to do in Anchorage this winter November 7, 2019
Howdy, dedicated AKontheGO’ers, it’s nice to be back at the keyboard after a busy fall of trips and their planning. I went to Juneau for the Alaska Travel Industry Association Convention, then jetted to Las Vegas to represent my AK writing cohorts for the annual Alaska Media Road Show. And, everywhere in between, I schlepped […]

Saddle Creek Trail to Grewingk Glacier Lake September 11, 2017
At the end of July we took the boat over to Halibut Cove to hike the Saddle Trail with the kids to picnic at Grewingk Glacier Lake. It's a great trail for kids to master themselves, and Riggs hiked the whole way himself. Raina was in the backpack, but more because we wanted to hike […]

Gluten Free Apple Pie November 8, 2019
This Gluten-Free Apple Pie is so delicious. It’s hard to say which is the star of the show: the gluten-free apple pie filling perfectly smothered in a sweet layer of cinnamon and nutmeg, or the buttery-like gluten-free pie crust. It’s a match made in heaven! What reader Shataia says about this Vegan Apple Pie: “I... […]

A Home In The Mountains August 24, 2015
We came to this land in June of this year, in the midst of a heatwave. We thought we could make a home from the dust but we left after less than two weeks, frustrated. Our plans foiled. Maybe it wasn’t time yet. Maybe we wimped out. And so we left. For two months […]

One day Alice came to a fork in the road and saw a Cheshire cat in a tree. “Which road do I take?”, she asked. “Where do you want to go?”, was his response. “I don’t know”, Alice answered. “Then”, said the cat, “it doesn’t matter.” ~ Lewis Carroll It is Christmas day, and I […]

Extracting Honey From Beehive Frames October 13, 2019
2019 was our third season keeping honeybees, but only our first year actually getting to harvest honey. We borrowed a 3-frame manual honey extractor from a friend. There are a few styles of honey frame extractors, but most are designed to spin uncapped frames very quickly, using the momentum/force of the spin to pull honey […]

Please excuse the jumbled nature of this review: I was up until 6 a.m. last night, finishing Eternity Began Tomorrow. I literally could not stop reading. And it wasn’t just the story, which is intriguing, fast-paced and unpredictable (most of the time—I did guess at the ending). It’s that the writing is so smooth… […]
