Love is the Way Across Alaska

At the Relay for Life June 9, 2013, a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society in Fairbanks, AK.  I could not have found a more fitting place for this banner and message than behind a cluster of torches and plaques set in the ground in remembrance of loved ones who have passed. 

Peace Rider with Eagle River Boy Scouts unloading in Whittier, AK after a mid-June  kayak trip in Prince William Sound.

Same characters with the addition of a Hoary Marmot hamming it up on a rock above and slightly right of the Space Shuttle.  All this fun on the shore side of Barry Glacier, Cascade Glacier to the left in Harriman Fyord


One of the many art work images that now grace the back of the banner.   This one added in Talkeetna at the end of a my bike ride from Homer to Talkeetna,  AK ending there June 5th, 2013.

Dariene, Bremner, Dirk Nickesh, Danielle Tyrell and Hobbs with a friend enjoying a family canoe trip on the North Fork of the Chandalar River in mid-July.  This was a rare mid-summer outing and break from their Coyote Air Service flying business based in Coldfoot, AK.  They put-in at Chandalar Shelf on the Dalton Highway and took out at Chandalar Lake.  Peace Rider wasn't along on this one.  Faith who helps them out during the summer took the photo.
