Carolynn came up to Alaska 20 years ago for a summer job and left only long enough to pack up her belongings in Utah and drive the Alcan. Since then she has been working on her Alaskan skills check list with the goal of earning Sourdough status. So far, of the 4 things on the list, she has checked off peeing on the Yukon River. Carolynn’s hometown roots are in New England, which can be readily determined by the emergence of a noticeable accent after a few drinks. Her favorite things to do are sitting around a campfire, with a frosty adult beverage in hand, telling stories with friends, going places with no cell phone service and adventuring with her husky dog, Sassy.
