Blue Spruce County Park
Speaker: Roger Higbee, Todd Bird Club Member
Description
Member Roger Higbee will present "To Alaska and Back: The Fun of Driving and Birding to andf rom Our 49th State". How many miles is a round trip to Alaska the Higbee way? How many flat tires were fixed on this trek? Do you need a light for your tent when camping in Alaska? Can enough mosquitoes land on your tent to carry it away?
Roger and Margaret Higbee had discussed a potential trip to Alaska several times and had postponed it for about ten years. They finally decided to take the plunge the first year of Roger�s retirement. Their goal was to reach Alaska as quickly as possible, see the state, and return as quickly as possible. These plans were quickly altered once on the road because of the beautiful scenery. This presentation will cover these miles and kilometers of their road trip through the amazing scenery of Alaska as well as Alberta, British Columbia,and the Yukon.
