Our Montana roots stir with excitement because John Messick will be in Missoula soon as a Montana Book Festival author and presenter. If you’re in the area, track him down! Catch him on stage Sept. 7th... and either way, read his book COMPASS LINES: Journeys Toward Home

Speaking of astrophysics & stale beer, @Salon published a COMPASS LINES excerpt from our new title by John Messick. Check out the adaptation of the longer essay about polar research at the South Pole—a good book preview, and a break from geopolitics.

In case you aren't sure where we stand, factory-farmed salmon has no place on our plates, in our state, or in @EdibleAlaska magazine. And never will.

Not exactly sure what to do with this information but the routing number on the giant novelty PFD check is the number to the Callin' Oates, the emergency Hall and Oates Helpline. Also, the routing number is 867-5309. #akleg #akelect

Hiked up Fireweed Mountain near McCarthy on Thursday to gorgeous somewhere-over-the-rainbow views of the Kennicott Valley and beyond, including our namesake Porphyry Mountain. Kennecott mill town for scale.

Neighbor, friend, and Wrangell Mountains-based artist Kristin Link joined us in Kennecott with the three original map illustrations we commissioned for 'Cold Mountain Path'. This one shows the Chitina River Valley (including Nizina, McCarthy Creek, and Kennicott R. watersheds)...
