Description:		Natalie Wiest     "So you think you want to drive to Alaska"   Natalie will be discussing with us about driving the Alaskan Highway through Canada and on to Fairbanks, Alaska. "From there I head to Anchorage by way of Denali National Park, and then on to Homer (where my brother lives). He provided me with my only paddling experience of the trip (Kachemak Bay)". They visited museums along the way and Natalie will be showing photos of many of the kayaking artifacts that they saw along with multiple glimpses of rivers, particularly the Yukon, and other potential paddling adventures. "Except for my Homer stay, I spent every night [either] in a tent or the back of my van, so [there will be] many comments on the camping experience as well. I hope it will be a cool way to spend a hot night in Houston". Atta girl, Natalie! This sounds like fun!
