Perhaps Don Pitcher’s love of travel came about because he moved so much as a child; by age 15 he had lived in six states and two dozen East Coast and Midwest towns. Don’s family hails from Maine, but being born in Atlanta made him a southerner with New England blood. He moved west for college, receiving a master’s degree from the University of California at Berkeley, where his thesis examined wildfires in high elevation forests of Sequoia National Park. When his first scientific paper was published, he appeared headed into the world of ecological research.
Shortly after grad school Don landed what seemed the coolest job on the planet: being flown around Alaska’s massive Wrangell-St. Elias National Park in a helicopter while conducting fire research. Wild places continued to beckon, and over the next 15 years Don built backcountry trails, worked as a wilderness ranger, mapped grizzly habitat, and operated salmon weirs—anything to avoid an office job. After that first season in Alaska, he spent three months in the South Pacific, and quickly found himself addicted to travel. These explorations eventually took him to all 50 states and 35 countries.
In addition to this book, he is the author of Moon Handbooks for Wyoming, Alaska, Washington, and the San Juan Islands, and has photographed three popular travel books. Don's images have appeared in a multitude of other publications and advertisements, and his prints are sold in many Alaska and Washington galleries.
Don bases his travels out of Homer, Alaska, where he lives with his wife, Karen Shemet, and their children, Aziza and Rio. Find details on his latest writing and photography projects—along with web links to many places mentioned in this book—at www.donpitcher.com.
