I’m around 10-15% done with my travels, when counting the distance traveled. I’m only 1/6th finished, when looking at the time (that’s around 18%). All of this, of course, is subject to change!
I’ve been in Kamloops since Sunday night, heading to Vancouver tonight, and have had [...]

Hot Off the Press

admin | June 23, 2009

Trash Trip got some local news coverage in Fairbanks, in the Daily News-Miner, one of the earlier stopping points of my travels. Be sure to read the comments, they’re enjoyable too!
The one that makes me smile has to be,
“Shes hot, shes smart, and she likes garbage. I’m in [...]

Happy Father’s Day

admin | June 21, 2009

I’d like to wish my dad, and all of the other dads out there reading this, a Happy Father’s Day!
I have less than 24 hours left here in Fairbanks and am tying up a few loose ends before heading to Tok on Monday. So far, the interviews have been fantastic and I have many [...]

So far, I have recorded interview with people in the following places:
Fairbanks
Toolik
Prudhoe Bay
Talkeetna

I have also done interviews, in writing, with other individuals in the same places, as well as Coldfoot.

Back-Up Frequently!

admin | June 12, 2009

Some of you may have noticed that my website was, shall we say, lacking lately.  I thought I had cracked the code to mirroring my website on my laptop and on the internet.  Not so.
Fortunately, I had a forgotten back-up file of my database, missing only three entries (of, I think, six total entries so [...]

Coming “Home” to Santa

admin | June 4, 2009

I’m sitting here, at the College Cafe down in Fairbanks, happy to hear the music selection has changed from annoyingly-repetitive-and-unsettling jazz (hardly the soothing stuff one would imagine playing at a cafe) to classic rock (aka old stuff from the 60s).
I’m busily editing pictures and video, like this one of my drive north on Tuesday. [...]

Happy to be Alive

admin | June 1, 2009

It’s days like today, in places like this, which make me glad to be alive.
I am heading to Talkeetna, AK later today, after finishing up some final errands here in Wasilla. This morning, I packed up my car, did a final walk-through at the cabin, and closed the locked door one last time. When I [...]
