Living deep in the Alaska bush is a profoundly absorbing experience that leaves an indelible mark on a person. The Great Land, Alaska, becomes close and real. One establishes a relationship with it, almost as if the land was alive. This is my story of thirty years of high adventure. We who grew up and lived as young adults in the Alaska of the 1950s and 60s are so few now that we almost qualify for endangered species status. Many people of my generation in the 49th state encountered both major events and daily doings that contributed to a life of adventure.
We took for granted activities such as bush flying, exploring virgin wilderness, and encountering wildlife in places so remote that the animals did not even know what humans are. Because Alaska was then a different sort of place to live, my generation acquired a unique view of the world. Enormous optimism was our birthright. The sky was the limit for our plans. I intended to own a hundred acres of forest, a log home, and a lake, with a Super Cub on floats tied to my dock. All this seemed very possible to me.
