Book Description
This is the story of a secondary school principal who makes a difficult decision to give up the security of his profession to follow his spirit guide's advice to purchase a remote run-down hunting and fishing lodge in Alaska. Making the transition from wearing a suit and tie and shaving every working day to wearing hip boots, a wool shirt and growing a full beard was a pleasant change. Sabo enjoyed the years spent working with the teachers and students at various schools, but dealing with mechanical problems such as generators, boats, motors and airplanes, although at times exasperating, was a significant change of pace from dealing with the behavior problem of 900 students and their parents. Reviews "Beautifully written. Reads as though the author is talking to you." - Jerry Lannue, Retired "Fabulous, this book is true to the Alaskan lifestyle." - Bobbie Breithaupt, Travel Agent, Susan Parr Travel "A great book, full of adventure. I was fascinated with the book, and I could not put it down." - Suzanne Eaton, Vice President, Client Manager, Premier Banking, Bank of America. "Everyone should read it." - Dave Waterbury, retired. "Very enjoyable reading." - Steve Gilchrist, Owner, Landscape Northwest. "If you have ever wanted to follow your dreams but have been afraid to do it, Barney's book is a must read. This book is for pure people pleasure and looks at how different we all are and the good in most of us. As you read, you will experience emotions of laughter, tears, fear and a zest for life in a beautiful land. Enjoy! I did." - Gail Frick, Investment Representative, Ed Jones. "I read the book twice. A great story of modern day adventure of someone not afraid to live their dream." - Don Wolf, Owner, Wolf Woodworks

The Alaskan Retreater's Notebook
Author: Ray Ordorica
Publisher: Skyhorse
ISBN: 151070082X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 182
Book Description
In the fall of 1978 Ray Ordorica packed everything he thought he would need into his Toyota LandCruiser and drove north to Alaska. He came to a land he had never seen, to find something he wasn't even sure existed: a wilderness cabin he could use for a year or more to live, think, relax, read, and write. Ordorica found his cabin, fixed it up, and, although it was just an un-insulated 12- by 16-foot one-room log structure, he spent three winters in it in relative comfort. Ordorica’s life in that cabin fulfilled a dream he had had for more than ten years. During his long winters in Alaska, it occurred to him that there must be many others who have put off an extended wilderness visit to out of ignorance or fear. They have as many questions about Alaska as he had before he arrived: How do you cope with 40 below? How do you get water? Is it totally dark in mid-winter? These questions and many more gave Ordorica the idea to write the Alaskan Retreater’s Notebook, an epic memoir about one man’s journey into the Alaskan wilderness. With his wisdom, you will learn how to live with the country, and not against it.
