Discovery Channel is currently airing a show on Friday nights called Flying Wild Alaska. It’s a really interesting show in its own right, but Jose and I are particularly interested because it follows a family that lives in Unalakleet — a tiny, tiny village on the west coast of Alaska that just happens to be the hometown of Jose’s good friend Meryl. (It was Meryl’s wedding that took us to Alaska — though not Unalakleet — in 2008.)
It’s crazy to think that I know someone who grew up on what’s basically the modern day equivalent of the frontier. You can’t get there by road — only by airplane or snowmobile. And the winters there have to be CRAZY cold.
