Frank's
Adventures
"Around the middle of June I took a
long trek in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge with two female
friends, Susan Hall and Kristin Janssen. We walked from the Arctic
Coastal Plain to the Sheenjek River on the south side of the Brooks
Range. During our hike we saw many different species of wildlife
including wolves, Dall sheep, gyrfalcons, whimbrels, caribou and
grizzly bears. Once more than 500 bull caribou in full velvet walked
right below our tents. They were so close we could hear
the clicking of their heels. Early
the next morning a grizzly almost walked into our camp as I was just
getting out of my tent. One afternoon we crept up on 45 male Dall
sheep at a mineral lick and watched the two leaders bump horns for
more than an hour to show who was the stronger. We were also there
during the height of the wildflower season and counted more than 20
species in full bloom. One of the highlights of the trip was seeing
for the first time in my life a bird called a Bluethroat which nests
only in the Brooks Range. It winters in Africa, Iran and India, so is
quite the travelin' bird!
I also took a couple of long canoe
trips with my son Steven on two of Alaska's Wild and Scenic Rivers.
While we were running some very rough white water on Birch Creek we
took a spill and had to swim for our lives. We lost our kitchen
utensils and for the next three days on the river we had to cook on
rocks and an old piece of flattened chimney pipe. We had to use
eighty year old rusty cans to heat our water in, and when they
developed pin holes from the fire we had to wrap them with duct tape!
It worked, and we survived.
I also flew down to Montana to visit
some of my cousins and to meet Jen and Steven. After our visit we
drove up the Alcan Highway together and back to our home in
Fairbanks."
