Print junior Karen Garcia is doing a little of everything this summer as she interns with the Turnagain Times, based in Girdwood, Alaska. Here's her report:
"Things in Alaska are all right, I suppose. I am writing many stories in addition to taking photos. Last week I went on a helicopter tour of the Chugach mountains and glaciers (a $350 tour which I got to do for free. Awesome.) which culminated in landing on Colony Glacier and walking about in the wilderness. I got some sweet pictures of that (the one used in the paper is attached). Also did a story on the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center's current Wood Bison and Black Bear Mountain projects as well as the "Bird to Gird" 13-mile bike path. I helped to layout the issue and copyedited half of the stories.
"This week I am interviewing this guy who makes these amazing wood sculptures, in addition to interviewing the new dentist in Girdwood (the old one just left). I am also hiking and biking Mt. Alyeska and writing about that trail system and talking to the trail supervisor."
