Downtown Juneau<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I own houses in Oklahoma and Southern California, but I felt like I was home when I arrived in Juneau May 7 for my 2015 adventures as a naturalist for Gastineau Guiding<\/a>.<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Juneau is\u00a0small, only about 30,000 residents, so chances are no matter where you go, you may run\u00a0into friends or\u00a0acquaintances.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the airport, I\u00a0connect with two friends arriving from Anchorage. A half hour later I bump into two of my Gastineau peeps at the Paradise Caf\u00e9\u00a0<\/a>.\u00a0Not long after,\u00a0 I am hugging\u00a0neighbors in the produce\u00a0section\u00a0at Fred Meyers<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Houses<\/a>
If you don’t play in the rain in Juneau, you don’t play.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

For me, my Juneau connections are an extended family. That\u2019s\u00a0 how it is in this remote community. \u00a0Most people in Juneau don\u2019t care what you do for a living or what kind of car you drive. If you own a car in Juneau you\u2019re rich. Residents most often judge you by how you treat your loved ones, friends, pets, the environment and how you help your community. <\/span><\/p>\n

OH! It helps if you have a boat. In Southeast Alaska, you own a boat, have a friend with a boat, or wish you had a friend with a boat. Lucky me, my buddy Annette Smith has a boat. Check out her amazing beautiful boating and diving videos on You Tube<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I love humpbacks.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Needless to say, I am happy to be \u201chome\u201d for another five months. Follow me this summer to experience <\/span>more about the travels, tales and tidbits\u00a0of the last frontier, 2015.<\/span><\/p>\n
