The days are long and the salmon are running in Alaska, so it’s time for Living On Earth commentator Nancy Lord to make her annual migration to her favorite place on earth; an isolated stretch of beach that the rest of the world has passed by. Nancy Lord is the author of “Fishcamp: Life On An Alaskan Shore.” Her essay was produced by Living on Earth’s Peter Thomson.
