Today we talk to Dave and Donna Jauron and learn how Alaska has become their second home. These two Iowans have been in love with Alaska for over 30 years! They travel and live there every summer ! What draws them back year after year? One big pull is the fishing! We know that you will enjoy listening to their Alaska story! I think I need a little more Alaska in my life!
