Melinda Brasher fell in love with Alaska on her first cruise there.  She loves walking the decks watching for dolphins, whales, and otters.  She loves the sound of glaciers calving.  She once had a glorious moment of camaraderie with a bald eagle in Sitka.  One of her favorite hikes in the world is to Upper Dewey Lake from Skagway.  So many things about Alaska have captured her imagination, from tales of the Klondike Gold Rush to hunting techniques of the native peoples to the incredible life cycles of salmon.  You can follow her on Twitter @MelindaJBrasher or find plenty of posts about Alaska on her blog:  www.melindabrasher.com
