Pioneering geologist revisits life-changing path
In Alaska, the question isn’t whether to take the road less traveled. The question is which of the less-traveled roads to take.
More than 30 years ago, a young woman chose the James W. Dalton Highway. She would travel as many miles as there are days in the year from Fairbanks to where the rugged dirt road leads north into the arctic tundra.
Mary Albanese was nervous, not because the trip was along a remote stretch of road in a state she barely knew. She worried because the trip marked a leap of faith without first knowing how far she could jump.
