Why Exploring Matters

---

You have to push your limits. Take chances. You have to go where you haven't gone before. That's how I made it to this point in what would become a 10K+ road trip to Alaska. And yes, having the Miata as "My Trusty Steed" more than helped.

My first Grizzly. Actually my first three Grizzlies. A mom and two cubs. They came within 3 feet of the shuttle.

It took 45 minutes from the first sighting before they came that close.

This one cub was just too photogenic.

US/Canadian Border Rules
I actually think this sign may be more confusing than the one at the US/Mexico border

US/Canadian Border View
This may have been the most barren, god forsaken place I have ever driven to. And both US and Canadian border police are stationed here. It's like 4 hours to the nearest civilization.

Grizzly Cub
Perhaps the best wildlife photo I have ever taken
