This 8,599-mile trip to 'Alaska State Park' from Summerland, California is a splendid odyssey, revealing a land both brazen and breathtaking, where glaciers carve mountains out of stone and the wind howls voices spirited from the past.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is so much more than a travelogue. D'Arcy and I went in search of the Alaskan creed. The creed is the unspoken law of the land, where choices are made in silence and only judged by your conscience. Do you stop for the man in the broken-down RV, or do you keep on driving? What if it's a woman? What if it's a band of Tlingit Indians? What if it's a dog running to its master with an arm in its mouth, covered with red flannel? Do you call the police or keep on trucking? These are the choices people make according to their creed. It's not the words that define you; it's the actions you take when no one is looking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLast summer was the journey of a lifetime. Our plan was to head north to visit my old college roommate who lived in his cabin with the moose rack above the door in the Wrangell Mountains. Talk about characters. D'Arcy and I use alternating voices that engage all the senses and create an intimate rhythm that allows the story to unfold one adventure after the other. It all happens in a world of wilderness, partnership, and resilience.
