Alaska Chick's First Interview with Youngest Old Timer in Alaska

Tweet

 

I thought we would do something a little different, here on Alaska Chick’s Blog this morning.

With Ameena Falchetto’s BIV Brand Identity Visualization finished for Alaska Chick’s Blog (You can see it on my About Page!) and the understanding of what needs to be portrayed, to you from me and what it really means, to you, of course, but as well to myself.

That had never been an aspect I considered. I also downloaded Darren Rowse’s 31 Days To Build A Better Blog as I was introducing myself to SITSGirls (the Secret to Success is Support)...... Which of course, in turn, and in payment for lessons learned, I killed our bandwidth...again.

What did I realize that made such a difference? I love this place. I mean to say, I really love this place. Everything and everyone that makes this place unlike any other.

So what?

Well, I asked myself, “Who else loves this place as much, if not more than I do?” That one is easy.

Master Guide Terry Overly. The Youngest Old Timer in Alaska.

So, I asked him, “Terry, tell my friends online, how would YOU, in your own plain old opinion, in your experiences here, doing what we do, describe Pioneer Outfitters’s Summer Horseback Riding Pack Trips.”

This is what he said...“You are alone with nature, with God and your own thoughts. You very well may not see another human being (other than those in your own party) the entire time you are with us.

The air is pure. The sounds of nature are all around you, it is never silent. Sometimes you start out thinking it is, but listen, listen closely. You will hear the sounds of a creek way off, the sounds of birds chirping and squirrels chattering. You can hear the wind blow through the rocky crags of high mountain outcrops.A wolf howling, the horse bells dinging in the distance as they graze on the open and unrestricted range. You are riding along on your horse, time has stopped.

Completely removed from your every day back home routine. Virtually untouchable, unreachable, free to just let your mind wander, anywhere it wants to go, taking it all inside you.

As you are riding your horse over the river rocks across the many streams and creeks, the rivers, you will see and think and feel the tremendous power of natures force and will.

The realization will come to you, just exactly where you fit in in the master plan of all things.”

I am, Alaska Chick.

“As you look, really look, and find no words; feeling both, your heart healing and filling to an inner bursting point and feeling that your soul has been laid open to the breeze and wind like a raw wound. This takes you beyond the physical, past the mental; this is the spiritual element. This is Chisana.”

My name is Amber-Lee Dibble and I am the Manager at Pioneer Outfitters. We are located in the Wrangell St. Elias National Park & Preserve, our nation’s largest, most unexplored, unexploited and untouched National Park.

I am Mom, the Manager and the lead Guide of the Extreme Pro Team Guides. Born a Capricorn 1, Week of the Ruler, on the Day of The Indomitable One.

Pioneer Outfitters has been taking people into the wilderness of Alaska on horseback for Spiritual, Pleasure, Gold Panning, Glacier Exploring and Historic Trail Pack Trips, as well as Big Game Hunting and Survival & Guide Training since 1924. We, our family and our horses have always lived here year-round. As we make our life, we make our “living.”
