Alaska - NOT for a Woman!

In 1962 Mary Carey, newly widowed, drove the Alcan alone from Texas to Alaska, where she would make herself a new life. Pilot, homesteader, journalist and baker, Mary Carey is owner and proprietor of Mary's McKinley View Lodge, which she built on her homestead in 1972. There she bakes sixty-four pies each day, welcomes guests, lectures to tourists and somehow finds time for rock hunting and writing.
