We have successfully beaten back every attempt to exploit the
refuge, but that doesn't mean the fight is over. The oil and gas

So much of my time hitchhiking, I think of roads. Of Patch
workers on ice roads. Of roadside running caribou. Of traveling carnival
convoys. Of runners in love living their dream lives on the road.
There's a lot of living on the road and some rides go far.

Alaska is sometimes thought of as America's last frontier, with
the state's rugged mountains covering huge amounts of land, much of it
largely untouched by humans. An Alaskin cruise brings passengers
alongside wildlife and glaciers with panoramic views from the ship's
deck.

The combined effects of technology, development, industry, and
tourism continue to shrink the world, and we're losing wild places all
the time -- but as humans, we're still drawn to them. As we're forced
farther and farther afield "to get away from it all," as they were
doing, the risk grows.

With the price of gas trending downward, there's no better time
to jump in the car, put the top down, and head out for a drive. Here,

EPA just concluded a 60-day public comment period, and the vast

Hitchhiking the Northern Rockies "Oil Patch" region yesterday, I

No $50 million offer can undo more than 50 years of
conservation history. We thank Secretary Jewell and the Interior
Department for rejecting the Parnell proposal and upholding the Obama
administration's commitment to keep drilling in the Refuge "off the
table."

I'm in Alaska, where the moose are plentiful and the driving is
somewhat stop and go. Once stopped, there's not a lot you can do but
gape at the sight of the moose (they're huge) and snap some pictures
(assuming your camera is primed). But later, there's time for
reflection on the lessons learned from moose.

The signing of these bills into law is the closest any state
has come to seceding. One resolution went so far as to urge the federal
government to "recede." We have officially adopted laws asserting
autonomy and authority over the union of which we are a part, to which
we pledge allegiance to.
