ABOUT THE AUTHOR DON PITCHER
 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 more than two dozen East Coast and Midwest towns. Don's family hails from Maine, but he was born in Atlanta, making him a southerner with New England blood. He moved West for college, receiving a master's degree from the University of California, Berkeley, where his thesis examined wildfires in Sequoia National Park. When his first scientific paper was published, he appeared to be 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 and worked as a wilderness ranger in southeast Alaska, mapped grizzly habitats in Wyoming, and operated salmon weirs on Kodiak Island. After that first season in Alaska, Don spent three months in the South Pacific, and found himself addicted to travel. These explorations eventually took him to all 50 states as well as 35 other countries.
Don now works full time as a travel writer and photographer, basing his travels from Homer, Alaska, where he lives with his wife, Karen Shemet, and their children, Aziza and Rio. Find details on his latest projects at www.donpitcher.com.
