Welcome to Joe and Pat's web site

This site was started as an attempt to get our old photos and slides of the last 40 years, or so, organized and viewable by the family and others. Joe made his first driving trip to Alaska in 1962, ending up in Nome and moving back to Nome in 1964. Pat moved to Galena, Alaska in 1970. Between both of us we have lived in Nome, Marshall, Galena, Koyukuk, Tanana and Nenana for about 25 years. Over those years we tried to visit as much of the state as possible by air, boat or the road system. In 1989 we moved to Ouray, Colorado and in 1997 to Florida. As of 2007, we have driven the Alaska Highway eleven (11) round trips. Round trip 12 is being planned for the summer of 2008. Other years while living in Alaska, we would often take a couple of weeks and take our RV from Alaska to Whitehorse, then up to Dawson for a few more days and back to Alaska, fishing most of the streams and lakes along the way.
Always happy to answer any questions if I can. Just use the email address at the bottom of this page and put something about Alaska in your subject line to get it past my spam filters.. I have developed a few pages of verbiage on traveling to Alaska that I put a copy on this web site under the heading of Story Time below, Number 12.
