View show details

Today's show pays tribute to Mike Gordon, who started the world-renowned, rustic saloon, Chilkoot Charlie's. Its success rose during the oil boom days of the Alaska Oil Pipeline and with it the drug craze years of the 1970's. Although Mike got wrapped up in it, he quit, turned his life around and as part of his therapy set his sights on climbing the seven tallest peaks on seven continents. Mike wrote a book about it, Climbing the Ropes: An Alaskan Memoir, that you'll find with other books Mike wrote on our Big Alaska Show Book Review section. Mike's life is a rich, entertaining tapestry. We've picked clips to share this life well-lived!
