    Description

    I live in a lovely little town in Alaska called Talkeetna just south of the Alaska range and Denali. I live with my 2 Alaskan huskies. We love the lake life and just getting out to explore everything Alaska has to offer! I am a Civil Engineer for the Forest Service. I survey and design stream restoration projects all over the country but when I'm not travelling on a project, forgot fun, I work from home.
