Thanks Teresa, It does feel personal after having been there and seeing for myself how big and embracing the Arctic Refuge can be. Have you read Margaret Murie's Two in the Far North? What a life she had, and what an advocate for all places wild. Rereading her book after 30 years is what prompted me to revisit this article I'd written probably 20 years ago.

We’ve never floated the Porcupine, but have seen plenty of Peregrines. They are splendid, so is your writing.

Beautiful, Jessica. It's been a dream of mine to visit the Porcupine, and I loved reading of your adventure. The inevitable change is hard to take, still I hope for preservation. Thank you.
