Hi Lane, I was online looking at your beautiful photos from Alaska. Have you seen the book about the Eagle Lady? You can preview it by clicking on the book cover at www.eaglelady.com It is a local bestseller.

I am very offended about what you said about he Athabascans coming and fading away. It is a bit racest. I think that you should take that off of this site. However, the rest of this site is very good.

Thank you for taking me back to Alaska through all your beautiful photographs. I lived there several years ago and plan on returning at some point. It's always nice to hear about a visit up there and to see a place that hasn't changed much!
— Heather Rhoades, July 30, 2003

Above all, it was great to see you! Nice hair cut. Nice scenery too! Thanks for including me in the tour.

— Linda, July 18, 2003

How amazing! I only had time to glance at the pictures, but I can't wait to hear all about it when I get back to the real world! I'm glad you had a great (and safe!) trip -- see you when I get home! :)

Owners, Adventure Alaska Tours/Discovery

Brings back memories
Hi, Lane:

Thanks so much for bringing back so many memories. I took a van tour of Alaska's rugged interior with Adventure Alaska Tours exactly one year ago. Your guide Patrick was also our guide -- he looks just the same! Todd and Barb, who own Discovery Cabins in Hope -- and who put together this tour for us -- look great, too. And Liam looks a year older! Our trip covered Denali, Kennecott, Kenai Fjords, and Hope. From there, I flew to Nome and took a three week cruise around the Bering Sea with Society Expeditions. (You can see my pictures by clicking on my name below). Thanks again, Lane, for the detailed trip diary and pix. It looks as if Adventure Alaska offered your small group (we had ten) an excellent trip.
— Phil Douglis, July 16, 2003

How wonderful! They make me feel almost as if I took the trip myself.
— Florence (mother), July 16, 2003

Lane, your pictures are beautiful and you actually got to see Mt McKinley!!! It was fun traveling together.
— jeanne abbo, July 16, 2003

— johan deceuninck, July 16, 2003
