| Why, you ask, is Alaska's Moose jewelry made of poo? Because Moose digestion is so efficient that there are NO nutrients left in the waste! So Moose poo is dried, layered, painted and worn for decoration. Why, you ask, is The Little Susitna River (near Hatcher Pass) one of the highest public use areas in all of Alaska? Silver, Chum, Pink, and Sockeye Salmon go up the clean, swift river to spawn in such volume that this becomes a fisherman's paradise. Where else can you see a Matanuska Sunset in Wasilla, the Aialik Glacier Calving from a kayak in the Kenai Fjords AND a swan slipping across Wonder Lake in Denali Park? Whether you follow guidance of the folks in the Nenana Visitor Center or just wander down Glenn Highway to see what you can see...you may catch a glimpse of Clouds Erupting on Matanuska Peak or muse at the artistic rendering of a Totem near Fairbanks. The fall colors in Denali Park paint a delicate pastel of Caribou eating Dwarf resin bush and willow; Polychrome Pass appears ethereal as the sun heads home. In Alaska, it's a seemingly everyday occurrence...to see a Musk Ox or a Black Bear or the small, yet mature, Black Spruce standing fortress to the mountains in the background. It is certainly NOT an everyday experience for the visitor! The current economy of Alaska is bolstered by tourism in the Port of Seward and Cook Inlet's Turn again Arm, as well as oil traveling through the Aleyska Pipeline. One of the Alaska Pipeline photos show the pipe curving its way through Big Delta over the Tanana River. What a change from the good old days of panning for gold in Goldstream Valley (Fox) and living in a Gold Miner's Cabin.
