Work environment

I don't know if there are too many experiences that can top gliding over the cool Alaskan ocean waters at 5:00 AM. Working on Admiralty Island provided me with the opportunity to commute by car, boat, and bus each day to work. It was a 20 min car ride to the dock, a 35 minute boat ride from Juneau to Admiralty Island, and then another 30 minutes up to my office at the mine site. Despite the lengthy commute, it was worth it every time you saw a few brown bears on the side of the road or a whale cut through the water.
